Purpose:
Necrotizing retinopathy is an uncommon, devastating, potentially blinding condition, which can be seen in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. The purpose of this case is to report a new subset of necrotizing viral retinopathy.
Observation:
A 34-year old lady presented to our outpatient department with sudden diminution of vision in both eyes following a brief history of viral fever with vesicular rashes. Fundus examination showed areas of necrotizing retinitis in posterior pole involving macula with scattered superficial retinal hemorrhages, cotton-wool spots in both the eyes. She was treated with intravenous acyclovir and oral valacyclovir.
Conclusion And Importance:
Our case may represent a new subset of necrotizing viral retinopathy, which may intermediate the clinical pictures of acute retinal necrosis and progressive outer retinal necrosis.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
