Summary
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) rarely presents with early exudative retinal detachment (ERD). This case highlights diagnosing and treating this rare varicella-zoster virus (VZV) presentation with combined antiviral and corticosteroid therapy for good outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Infectious Diseases
- Virology
Background:
- Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a severe viral retinitis.
- Early exudative retinal detachment (ERD) is an uncommon ARN presentation.
- Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) can cause atypical ARN with ERD in adults.
