Résumé / Abstract

Background: The progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome is a recently recognized variant of necrotizing herpetic retinopathy. This report characterizes more fully its clinical features and course. Methods: Using standardized clinical criteria, patients with progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome from four institutions were identified. Patient records were reviewed retrospectively for the following data: medical and demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, physical findings, course, responses to treatment, and outcomes. Results: Thirty-eight patients (65 involved eyes) were studied. All had acquired immune deficiency syndrome. A known history of cutaneous zoster was documented in 22 (67%) of 33 patients
