Central retinal vascular occlusion associated with acute retinal necrosis. Archives of ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960), 2012, Volume: 130, Issue:4 Topics: Acyclovir; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Antiviral Agents; DNA, Viral; Female; Fluorescein Angiography; Herpes Simplex; Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus; Herpesvirus 2, Human; Herpesvirus 3, Human; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Retinal Artery Occlusion; Retinal Necrosis Syndrome, Acute; Retinal Vein Occlusion; Valacyclovir; Valine; Visual Acuity	2012
Multiple recurrent branch retinal artery occlusions associated with varicella zoster virus. Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.), 1996, Volume: 16, Issue:5 The authors describe an immunocompetent patient who developed multiple recurrent branch retinal artery occlusions (BRAOs) associated with the varicella zoster virus (VZV).. A 69-year-old woman with mild bilateral vitritis developed superior and inferior BRAOs in her right eye with decreased visual acuity to 20/40, and a peripheral BRAO inferotemporally in her left eye. One month later, the inferotemporal BRAO progressed proximally in her left eye with a decrease of visual acuity to 20/40. After an extensive negative systemic evaluation, she underwent a diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy of her right eye.. Vitreous fluid was positive for VZV DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The patient was treated with intravenous acyclovir and systemic oral steroids. After remaining disease free for 3 months, the patient had two recurrences: 1) a mild vitritis and 2) development of a new superior temporal artery occlusion in the left eye. Both recurrences were treated with oral acyclovir and systemic steroids. The patient remained recurrence free for 12 months on a maintenance dose of oral acyclovir, and for 4 additional months without acyclovir.. Varicella zoster virus can be associated with the syndrome of multiple recurrent BRAOs. The diagnosis of VZV-associated BRAO can be established by PCR of intraocular fluid.
