Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is characterized by the triad of acute vitritis, peripheral necrotizing retinitis and vasculitis.
We report a case of 54-year-old woman with bilateral acute retinal necrosis associated with neuroinfection. Her past medical history included renal transplantation, hypertension and aortic stenosis. Observational case report: Diagnostic investigations included biochemical tests, lumbar puncture, eye ultrasonography and MRI of the brain. Anti-HSV IgG antibody titers were elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. In MRI T2-mode, inflammatory changes were found in the white matter of the right hemisphere. The patient was treated with systemic acyclovir, itraconazole, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin for 3 weeks. Retinal detachment was observed in both eyes.
Acute retinal necrosis can be the single manifestation of herpes virus reactivation in patients after organ transplantation.
急性视网膜坏死(ARN)的特征是三联征,包括急性眼炎、周边坏死性视网膜炎和血管炎。
我们报告了一例 54 岁女性双侧急性视网膜坏死伴神经感染。她的既往病史包括肾移植、高血压和主动脉瓣狭窄。观察性病例报告:诊断性检查包括生化检查、腰椎穿刺、眼部超声和脑部 MRI。血液和脑脊液中的抗单纯疱疹病毒 IgG 抗体滴度升高。在 MRI T2 模式中,发现右侧大脑半球白质有炎症改变。患者接受了全身性阿昔洛韦、伊曲康唑、甲硝唑和环丙沙星治疗 3 周。双眼均出现视网膜脱离。
急性视网膜坏死可能是器官移植后疱疹病毒再激活的单一表现。
