Abstract
- The Acute Retinal Necrosis(A.R.N.) syndrome is characterized by necrotizing retinitis, vitritis, and retinal vasculitis. We experienced 5 eyes of 4 cases with Acute Retinal Necrosis in otherwise healthy patients. In this study, 3 of 4 cases(75%) were male, retinal detachment developed in 3 eyes(60%), and 3 of 4 cases(75%) were unilateral. 4 of 5 eyes(80%) had a final visual acuity of less than 0.1.
