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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 (

The Acute Retinal Necrosis Syndrome and Retinal Necrosis Associated with Encephalitis

1985
The acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARNS) is a well- established unilateral or bilateral condition of possibly herpetic origin in otherwise healthy patients (1,9–11,15,17,18/ 33,36,38,39,41). Similar retinal necrosis can be the terminal stage of the chronic spreading retinitis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusion disease or may result from a herpes ...

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.

Famciclovir for the Treatment of Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN) Syndrome

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
To document a case of acute retinal necrosis syndrome in an immunocompetent patient who was successfully treated with famciclovir after unsuccessful treatment with acyclovir.After diagnosing acute retinal necrosis syndrome in the patient's left eye, we treated him with 13 mg/kg/24 hours of intravenous acyclovir in three daily doses for 14 days ...
