  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 52-year-old male presented with abnormal feelings in his left eye. The affected eye showed anterior uveitis with edema and hemorrhages around the optic disc. He developed chemosis and swelling of the eyelid 6 days later. The findings were suggestive of orbital cellulitis. Another 3 days later, exudates appeared in the peripheral retina leading to the diagnosis of acute retinal necrosis. Clinical cure was obtained following systemic corticosteroid, acyclovir and vitrectomy. His right eye has been free of abnormal manifestations throughout. Since the first branch of trigeminal nerve serves both the orbit and the eyeglobe, we presumed that common pathogenic factors were involved in the orbital cellulitis and acute retinal necrosis in this patient.
