Purpose:
To report a case of a 11-year-old girl, who developed a bilateral acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) after Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encephalitis.
Observations:
Clinical findings and multimodal imaging including fundus photography, near-infrared reflectance, spectral-domain, and enhanced-deep imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT) of a patient with bilateral acute macular neuroretinopathy after Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis.
Conclusions And Importance:
After conducting a literature review in August 2024 using PubMed and Google Scholar, using the keywords "acute macular neuroretinopathy", "AMN", "Epstein-Barr", "Epstein-Barr virus", "EBV", "encephalitis" "Epstein-Barr encephalitis" "EBV encephalitis" we did not find any previous reports of AMN associated with EBV encephalitis, such as in our case. Near infrared imaging and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography are key diagnostic tools for this condition, even when fundoscopic findings are subtle.
