Treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome

Drugs of Today, 2006
Acute retinal necrosis is a distinct ocular viral syndrome with a potentially devastating visual outcome, traditionally treated with intravenous acyclovir followed by oral acyclovir. The goals of therapy include accelerating the resolution of the infection in the affected eye and prevention of contralateral involvement.

Laser Photocoagulation in the Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1987
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a syndrome of fulminant necrotizing vaso-occlusive retinitis associated with a high incidence of retinal detachment due to retinal breaks and vitreous traction. We performed argon or krypton laser photo-coagulation to demarcate areas of active retinitis as prophylaxis against retinal detachment in five patients with ARN.

Cytomegalovirus-associated Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
To describe a case of acute retinal necrosis syndrome in which a polymerase chain reaction-based assay provided evidence for cytomegalovirus as the causative agent of the syndrome.Polymerase chain reaction-based assays were used to analyze a vitreous aspirate from a 70-year-old man with acute retinal necrosis syndrome.

Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome

2020
Acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARN) is one kind of necrotizing retinopathies and presumably caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) [1, 2].

Hemodynamic Alterations in the Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome

Ophthalmology, 1993
Clinical and histopathologic observations suggest a role for ischemia in the pathogenesis of the acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome. Disruption of blood flow appears to occur at some level in the retina or choroid and may account for some of the major features of the syndrome.To investigate these potential circulatory changes, color Doppler imaging (

Viral causes of the acute retinal necrosis syndrome

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2001
Acute retinal necrosis has been described as a clinical entity for nearly 30 years. Acute retinal necrosis is a potentially visually devastating necrotizing vaso-occlusive retinitis affecting both healthy and immunocompromised patients. Acute retinal necrosis is caused by the herpes group of viruses, mainly varicella zoster, herpes simplex types 1 and ...

Viral causes of the acute retinal necrosis syndrome

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000
The primary goal of this study was to determine the viral cause of the acute retinal necrosis syndrome in 28 patients (30 eyes). A secondary goal was to investigate possible associations between viral cause and patient age, and viral cause and central nervous system disease.A retrospective case series in which we reviewed the laboratory results and ...

Overview and Diagnosis of Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2008
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome, also known as Kirisawa's uveitis, is one of the most serious ocular diseases, and is characterized by a combination of peripheral, confluent, necrotizing retinitis, retinal arteritis, and intraocular inflammation. ARN syndrome is caused by the herpesvirus family, including herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella ...

Necrotizing herpetic retinopathies are serious, usually rapidly progressive diseases of retina. Three well defined syndromes can be outlined: acute retinal necrosis, progressive outer retinal necrosis and CMV retinitis. Two cases of acute retinal necrosis, where the clinical picture was probably influenced by the corticosteroid use are described.
