Abstract

The acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome represents a specific pattern of clinical presentation for certain herpes virus infections in the posterior segment of the eye. First described in the Japanese literature in 1971 and termed Kirisawa uveitis, it has till today remained a visually devastating condition in most of the cases. A female adult patient presented to us with classical picture of this syndrome and was managed with oral acyclovir and corticosteroid that responded well with this modality of treatment.
