The Efficacy of Prophylactic Vitrectomy in Treating Bilateral Acute Retinal Necrosis in Immunocompromised Patients
View through CrossRef
AbstractPurpose: To show that prophylactic vitrectomy is a suitable and effective treatment for patients with bilateral acute retinal necrosis (BARN) at risk of developing retinal detachment (RD).Design: Case report, literature reviewMethods: Optical Coherence Tomography, fundoscopic examination, surgical vitrectomy.Results: After bilateral prophylactic vitrectomy on an immunocompromised BARN patient, vision significantly improved to 20/60 OD and 20/30 OS and retinal detachment was mitigated.Conclusion: Prophylactic vitrectomy prevents retinal detachment in progressive BARN patients and may improve visual outcomes.
