Acute Retinal Necrosis with Choroidal Inflammation, Optic Perineuritis, and Early Retinal Detachment: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study was to describe a rare presentation of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) in an immunocompetent adult, with choroidal, optic nerve, and orbital inflammation with exudative retinal detachment (ERD), complicated by early rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This is a retrospective case report of atypical ARN. Clinical data, laboratory testing, and multimodal imaging were reviewed. Case Presentation: Examination revealed right eye granulomatous panuveitis, including granulomatous anterior chamber inflammation, dense vitreous haze, and peripheral necrotizing hemorrhagic retinitis. Optical coherence tomography showed inner retinal hyperreflectivity, thickened choroid, and ERD. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed inflammation of the optic nerve sheath and orbital tissues. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed varicella-zoster virus infection. Left eye showed an old peripheral chorioretinal scar. The patient received systemic acyclovir, oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, along with systemic corticosteroids and intravitreal ganciclovir. Final resolution of ERD and improvement in orbital and intraocular inflammation were observed. The patient subsequently developed early RRD, managed by pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. Despite structural stabilization, visual recovery was limited due to late presentation, optic nerve, and choroidal involvement. Systemic investigations excluded alternative causes. Conclusion: ARN with concurrent panocular inflammation, choroidal, and optic nerve involvement is uncommon and may indicate a more aggressive disease course, often associated with poor visual prognosis. This case highlights that ARN with choroidal and optic nerve involvement may follow an aggressive course, requiring early PCR confirmation, intensive antiviral therapy, and timely surgical intervention to prevent severe visual loss.
