Abstract
Acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARN syndrome) is a rare condition, caused by DNA viruses. The diagnosis of this condition is mainly based on the suggestive clinical appearance. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is crucial to prevent visual loss. We report the case of 56-year-old women, diabetic, who presented to the emergency room for rapid decrease of visual function of her left eye, which revealed granulomatous uveitis with retinal necrosis.
