A young 19-year-old male was referred for the management of acute hydrops in the left eye. During follow-up, other eye cornea developed edematous bands as if hydrops was developing at two parallel sites. Edema progressed very slowly and new edema bands continued to develop. This creeping type of hydrops took 4 months to develop into typical hydrops. To the best of our knowledge, hydrops has always been reported to develop in an acute manner and at a single site. Our case is unusual because hydrops progressed very slowly and developed at multiple sites in a creeping manner.
