Acute retinal necrosis after chickenpox in a healthy adult.

M J Barondes1, F Tellez, A Siegel.   

Abstract

A healthy man had acute retinal necrosis (ARN) two weeks after diffuse varicella eruption. Treatment with acyclovir and corticosteroids was associated with a favorable clinical outcome. To our knowledge, there are no reported occurrences of permanent visual loss or retinal detachment in healthy patients with postvaricella ARN.
