Abstract

We study the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in clinically diagnosed cases of Acute Retinal Necrosis (ARN).The medical records of six patients were retrospectively reviewed. All cases were found to have peripheral retinitis more than 180 degrees. All six patients responded well with resolution of retinal lesions taking a mean time of 6.4 weeks. Steroids in the form of oral Prednisolone was given in all 6 patients. Retinal detachment developed in five patients, for which they underwent Vitreo-retinal surgery.. Final visual acuity was 20/200 or better in 3 out of of 6 patients in our study. A timely diagnosis , early systemic treatment and later on management of complications is important to achieve better results.
