Summary

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a rare, vision-threatening viral eye disease. Early antiviral treatment is crucial, but vision loss can still occur, highlighting the need for prompt specialist care.

Diabetic Retinopathy

DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Virology
  • Retinal Diseases

Background:

  • Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN) is a rare but severe viral infection of the retina.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for preserving vision.

Observation:

  • This study documents three cases of ARN over one year at a district eye department.
  • Patients presented with unilateral uveitis and were treated with systemic antivirals and corticosteroids.

Findings:

  • Early treatment improved clinical findings and visual acuity in all patients.
  • Despite treatment and pars plana vitrectomy in two cases, visual acuity decreased in some patients during follow-up.
  • The specific viral pathogen (VZV, HSV, CMV) is less critical than prompt initiation of antiviral therapy.

Implications:

  • ARN requires urgent virostatic treatment, followed by corticosteroids after 24-48 hours.
  • Ophthalmologists should be aware of ARN's potential for vision loss even with treatment and consider referral to vitreoretinal specialists for complications.
  • Patient education on prognosis and the risk to the contralateral eye is essential.
