PURPOSE: To report a case of acute retinal necrosis presenting as central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing. METHODS: Single interventional case report. The findings of the ophthalmic examination, MRI, blood parameters, biopsy results and clinical course are reported. RESULTS: A forty two year old gentleman reporting sudden loss of sight, ophthalmic examination revealing uveitis, central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing and peripheral necrotizing retinitis. CONCLUSIONS: Central retinal artery occlusion can be an early feature of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
