Spontaneous Regression and Successful Laser Prophylaxis in Progressive Outer Retinal Necrosis Syndrome - 27/08/14
Résumé |
Purpose |
To describe a case of progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome that regressed spontaneously after discontinuation of all systemic antiviral medications with macular sparing after prophylactic laser photocoagulation of the posterior pole.
Methods |
Prophylactic laser photocoagulation surrounding the posterior pole was performed in an attempt to spare the macula from detachment in a patient with progressive outer retinal necrosis.
Results |
Progressive outer retinal necrosis regressed spontaneously without systemic antiviral medications. The posterior pole within the area of photocoagulation remained attached.
Conclusions |
Prophylactic laser treatment surrounding the posterior pole rather than peripheral retina may allow more time for formation of firm chorioretinal adhesions and protect the macula from detachment.
