Abstract
Acute retinal necrosis is a progressive intraocular inflammatory syndrome characterized by diffuse necrotizing retinitis that can lead to a poor visual outcome, mainly from retinal detachment. The antiviral treatment approach for acute retinal necrosis varies as there are no established guidelines. We summarize the outcomes of acute retinal necrosis with available antiviral treatments. Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar for interventional and observational studies. Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the pooled proportion of the predefined selected outcomes. This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022320987). Thirty-four studies with a total of 963 participants and 1,090 eyes were included in the final analysis. The estimated varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus polymerase chain reaction-positive cases were 63% (95% CI: 55-71%) and 35% (95% CI: 28-42%), respectively. The 3 main antiviral treatment approaches identified were oral antivirals alone, intravenous antivirals alone, and a combination of systemic (oral or intravenous) and intravitreal antivirals. The overall pooled estimated proportions of visual acuity improvement, recurrence, and retinal detachment were 37% (95% CI: 27-47%), 14% (95% CI: 8-21%), and 43% (95% CI: 38-50%), respectively. Patients treated with systemic and intravitreal antivirals showed a trend towards better visual outcomes than those treated with systemic antivirals (oral or intravenous) alone, even though this analysis was not statistically significant (test for subgroup differences P = 0.83).

Wu CY, Fan J, Davis JL, Berrocal AM, Haddock LJ, Yannuzzi NA, Fortun JA, Scott NL, Chau V, Albini TA. Surgical Outcomes of Acute Retinal Necrosis-Related Retinal Detachment in Polymerase Chain Reaction-Positive Patients: A Single-Center Experience. Ophthalmol Retina 2022; 6:992-1000. [PMID: 35654364 DOI: 10.1016/j.oret.2022.05.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical features, operative techniques, and surgical outcomes of patients who underwent surgery for acute retinal necrosis (ARN)-related retinal detachment (RD). DESIGN Retrospective, longitudinal, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Patients with polymerase chain reaction-positive ARN presenting from 2011 to 2021 who underwent vitreoretinal surgery for ARN-related RD at our institution. METHODS Univariate, multivariate, and survival analyses were used to determine predictors of anatomic and functional outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Single-surgery anatomic success rate, recurrent RD, and visual acuity (VA) at 1 year. RESULTS Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients (32.4% women, mean age, 45.1 ± 20.4 years) were included for analysis with a median follow-up of 2.5 years (interquartile range [IQR], 0.8-5.5 years). Presenting VA was 1.1 ± 0.8 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) (Snellen ∼20/250). The median time from presentation to RD surgery was 1.7 months (IQR, 0.8-4.1 months), and the mean preoperative VA was 1.6 ± 0.8 LogMAR (Snellen ∼20/800). Small-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without a scleral buckle (SB) was performed for all eyes with an overall single-surgery success rate of 63.6%, with no statistically significant differences in visual/anatomic outcomes between PPV and PPV/SB cases. Silicone oil was used for tamponade in 33 (97.1%) cases and was removed in 10 (30.3%) with good anatomic and final functional outcomes (Snellen ∼20/80). Independent predictors of recurrent RD included the female sex (hazard ratio, 8.38; 95% confidence interval, 2.03-34.68; P < 0.01) and zone 1 retinitis involvement at presentation (hazard ratio, 10.95; 95% confidence interval, 2.12-56.48; P < 0.01). The mean VA at 1 year (VA1year) and at the final follow-up both had a Snellen equivalent of 20/640 (P > 0.05 for both compared with preoperative VA, respectively). Eyes that achieved single-surgery success had VA1year of 20/200 versus hand movements in those with single-surgery failure (P < 0.01). On multivariate linear regression, younger age (P = 0.04) and better presenting VA (P < 0.01) were both associated with better VA1year. CONCLUSIONS Moderate single-surgery anatomic success can be achieved with modern vitreoretinal surgical techniques for ARN-related RD, although visual outcomes remain poor. Further studies investigating interventions for increasing single-surgery success rates, for the inflammatory complications of ARN, and for preventing ARN-related RD are needed.
