TitreBilateral acute retinal necrosis in a 12-year-old girl
Abstract Nr.A1016
ButAcute retinal necrosis is a severe ocular syndrome consisting of a moderate to severe anterior uveitis, vasculitis and vaso-occlusive retinal necrosis. It was first described by Uruyama in 1971. In various studies herpesviruses have been implicated as causative agents in acute retinal necrosis syndrome. It can occur in healthy individuals at any age, but reports of children with this condition are rare.
We present a 12-year-old girl with bilateral retinal necrosis and discuss the clinical presentation, laboratory findings, treatment and outcome in this severe blinding disease.
