Acute retinal necrosis is a type of retinitis which can be associated with viral infections.
It was first characterized in 1971.[1][2]
One study indicated an incidence of 1 per 1.6 to 2.0 million.[3]
Causes
The exact causes are not known, but varicella zoster virus is frequently implicated,[4] and other herpesviruses can be involved.[5]
Treatment
Treatments that have been used include foscarnet,[6] valacyclovir and famciclovir.[7]
