Association of retinal detachment with age 50 years or younger at onset in patients with acute retinal necrosis.

Background: Due to the guarded prognosis of acute retinal necrosis (ARN), it is relevant to develop a strategy to early categorize those patients in a higher risk of worse outcomes. The purpose of this study is to describe clinical features and predictive factors for retinal detachment (RD) in patients with ARN.

Methods: Retrospective observational case series of 34 adult patients (38 eyes) with ARN examined between January 2005 and July 2015 in the National Eye Institute (Bethesda, USA), the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Chile (Santiago, Chile), and APEC (CDMX, Mexico).
