“…4,11,15,23 Tractions of the vitreous on the retina would cause the formation of retinal breaks typically at the edge between the involved and uninvolved retina. 15,24 RD developed in 25% of our patients, concurrently with active retinitis in 1 case. It occurred only in eyes with 25% of retinal involvement, which is consistent with results from a previous study.…”

“…Still, some authors believe that prophylactic laser treatment delivered posterior to active retinitis may help prevent progression to retinal detachment 11 72 73. Others have contested this view 74 75. The risk of applying a confluent laser barrier would appear to be minimal, however, and so we tend to apply such treatment when feasible.…”

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN), also known as Kirisawa-type uveitis, is an uncommon condition caused by infection of the retina by one of the herpes family of viruses, most typically varicella zoster virus or herpes simplex virus and less commonly cytomegalovirus. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging and is often aided by PCR-based analysis of ocular fluids. Treatment typically involves extended use of one or more antiviral agents. Long term retinal detachment risk is high. We review the literature on ARN and present an approach to the diagnosis and management of this serious condition.

“…More modern techniques, including pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy, air-fluid exchange, endolaser, and gas or silicone oil tamponade, have demonstrated improved rate of retinal reattachment from 22% to 88%-100%. [51][52][53][54][55] In some cases scleral buckling may not be necessary. 51 …”
