An Unusual Case of Exudative Retinal Detachment in a 6-Year-Old Child with Acute Retinal Necrosis.

Purpose: To report a case of exudative retinal detachment (ERD) in a child with Acute retinal necrosis (ARN).

Method: Retrospective Chart Review.

Result: A six-year-old boy presented with anterior uveitis with hypopyon and exudative retinal detachment with peripheral confluent patches of retinitis in the left eye.

Tocilizumab for Cystoid Macular Edema Secondary to Immune Recovery Uveitis in a Patient with Contraindications to Long-Term Systemic Corticosteroid.

: To report a case of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to immune recovery uveitis (IRU) in a patient with previous history of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis and leukemia, which was successfully treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist. : The clinical records of the case were reviewed, focusing on demographics, image findings, and clinical course. : A 17-year-old female with a past medical history of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) undergoing chemotherapy for two years presented with active CMV retinitis.

Atypical presentation of acute retinal necrosis mimicking Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease leading to misdiagnosis: a case report.

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a serious, sight-threatening condition characterized by rapidly progressive necrotizing retinitis, most commonly caused by varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus. We report an atypical case of ARN in a 57-year-old immunocompetent male, initially misdiagnosed as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. This case highlights the challenges in the early differential diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious uveitis.

Clinical Spectrum and Perspective in Bilateral Acute Retinal Necrosis: Systematic Review.

Bilateral acute retinal necrosis (BARN) represents a broad ophthalmological field of severe retinal pathologies associated with poor visual prognosis and blindness. The purpose of this review is to examine the clinical spectrum in detail over the past few years, exploring laboratory and instrumental diagnosis, and providing useful and up-to-date guidance in this field. A systematic review of this field has been performed through the PRISMA guidelines, searching in the PUBMED database.

Early Presentation of Successive Acute Retinal Necrosis Decades After Initial Infection.

To describe the early presentation of successive acute retinal necrosis (ARN) decades after the initial infection. A single case and its findings were analyzed. A 62-year-old man with a remote history of left-sided ARN presented for evaluation of right-sided blurry vision.

[Viral retinitis].

Viruses belonging to the herpes family group, including HSV (herpes simplex virus) 1 and 2, VZV (varicella zoster virus) and CMV (cytomegalovirus) are the leading causes of necrotizing retinitis. These viral retinal necroses generally manifest in three forms, depending on the patient's immune status: acute retinal necrosis (ARN), progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) and CMV retinitis. Although specific, effective drug treatments are available today, early treatment initiation is essential to avoid sight-threatening complications.

Risk factors and prognostic factors associated with retinal detachment and visual outcomes in acute retinal necrosis.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors and prognostic factors that affect the long-term clinical outcomes of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).

Methods: A retrospective study of patients with ARN who underwent treatment and completed follow-up in our ophthalmology department from 2011 to 2021 was conducted. The incidence and risk factors of retinal detachment (RD) and prognostic factors affecting long-term clinical outcomes, such as late-onset RD and final vision loss (< 20/200), were analyzed.

Clinical spectrum and possible pathogenesis of progressive outer retinal necrosis.

Objective: Progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) is an alphaherpesvirus-caused panuveitis with devastating consequences for the eye. Our study aims to describe new findings in the clinical spectrum and propose a mechanism for the pathogenesis of PORN.

Methods: Observational, consecutive case series.

Refractory acute retinal necrosis presenting as peripapillary choroiditis - A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.

This report describes a challenging case of refractory acute retinal necrosis (ARN) with peripapillary choroiditis as the initial presenting sign. Imaging studies confirmed multifocal choroidal lesions and noted the novel sign of vertical hyper-reflective strips (VHRS) in the outer nuclear layer. Initial treatment with acyclovir and valacyclovir failed, and involvement of the other eye suggested a resistant variant of varicella zoster virus.
