Abstract Purpose:To report 3 patients with chronic retinal necrosis and cytomegalovirus infection.

Cases:The cases were 2 females aged 65 and 66 years, and one male aged 67 years. Two were unilaterally and one was bilaterally affected. One had diabetes mellitus and one had been treated by immunosuppressive drugs for hepatitis C. No case was positive for HIV.

Findings and Clinical Course:All the affected eyes showed keratic precipitates, vitreous opacity, retinal artery occlusion, retinal vasculitis, and retinal hemorrhage. Polymerase chain reaction was positive for cytomegalovirus-DNA in aqueous humor in all the eyes. All the cases were treated by antiviral therapy including intravitreal ganciclovir. Two cases were treated by oral valganciclovir. Nonperfusion retinal area was present in all the eyes and were treated by photocoagulation. Cases were followed up for 15 to 66 months, average 47 months. Best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 or better in all the eyes at the end of follow-up.

Conclusion:Visual outcome was favorable in all the 3 cases of chronic retinal necrosis and cytomegalovirus infection. Laser photocoagulation appeared to be beneficial to nonperfused retinal areas.
