[Acute retinal necrosis syndrome].

Abstract

Necrotizing herpetic retinopathies are serious, usually rapidly progressive diseases of retina. Three well defined syndromes can be outlined: acute retinal necrosis, progressive outer retinal necrosis and CMV retinitis. Two cases of acute retinal necrosis, where the clinical picture was probably influenced by the corticosteroid use are described. The overview of clinical manifestation and therapy of these syndromes is given.
