Abstract:
Purpose: To report a case of pachychoroid associated with acute retinal necrosis secondary to the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Methods: A retrospective review of a single case was performed. Results: The VZV-related acute retinal necrosis with pachychoroid resolved with quiescence of the acute infectious process. Conclusions: Acute retinal necrosis can result in choroidal thickening adjacent to retinitis. Previous reports have described choroidal sparing in these cases.
