Progressive outer retinal necrosis: a missed diagnosis and a blind, young woman.

Parth Parekh1, Edward C Oldfield, Paul E Marik.   

Abstract

We present a 33-year-old woman with a history significant for HIV/AIDS (CD4 count of 17) and diabetes mellitus who was diagnosed as having progressive outer retinal necrosis (PORN) after presenting with peripheral vision loss. This case provided a diagnostic challenge and demonstrates the devastating effects of a misdiagnosis as it pertains to PORN.
