Abstract
Acute retinal necrosis, caused by the herpes family of viruses, is a rapidly progressing ocular inflammatory disorder commonly reported in adults but rarely in children. The accepted diagnostic criteria include presence of 1 or more foci of retinal necrosis, rapid progression, circumferential spread, occlusive vasculopathy, and inflammation in the vitreous and anterior chamber. We report bilateral acute retinal necrosis with encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) in newborn twins.Entities:
