| ==Historical Perspective== | | ==[[Acute retinal necrosis overview|Overview]]== |
| *Acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]] was first officially classified as bilateral acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]] in 1978 by N.J. Young and A.C. Bird.<ref name="pmid708676">{{cite journal |vauthors=Young NJ, Bird AC |title=Bilateral acute retinal necrosis |journal=Br J Ophthalmol |volume=62 |issue=9 |pages=581–90 |year=1978 |pmid=708676 |pmc=1043304 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
| |
| **The classification was applied to 4 cases of bilateral necrotizing [[retinitis]], of which the patients developed bilateral confluent [[retinitis]] progressing to [[retinal detachment]] and [[phthisis]] despite [[corticosteroid]] and [[antibiotic]] therapy.<ref name="pmid24385671">{{cite journal |vauthors=Flaxel CJ, Yeh S, Lauer AK |title=Combination systemic and intravitreal antiviral therapy in the management of acute retinal necrosis syndrome (an American Ophthalmological Society thesis) |journal=Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc |volume=111 |issue= |pages=133–44 |year=2013 |pmid=24385671 |pmc=3868412 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *The first extension of the classification of acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]] to unilateral cases was given in 1983 by Hayasaka S. et al.<ref name="pmid6860612">{{cite journal |vauthors=Hayasaka S, Asano T, Yabata K, Ide A |title=Acute retinal necrosis |journal=Br J Ophthalmol |volume=67 |issue=7 |pages=455–60 |year=1983 |pmid=6860612 |pmc=1040094 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
| |
| **They identified that cases of bilateral acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]] and cases of Kirisawa-type [[uveitis]] presented nearly identical characteristics:<ref name ="Urayama">Urayama A, Yamada N, Sasaki T: Unilateral acute uveitis with retinal periarteritis and detachment.

| ***[[Periarteritis]]
| |
| ***Opaque, dense [[vitreous]]
| |
| ***Peripheral [[retinal]] [[exudates]]
| |
| ***[[Retinal detachment]]
| |
| ***[[Vision loss]]
| |
| ***Resistance to [[antibiotic]] therapy
| |
| ***Negative test results for [[bacterial]] infection
| |
| *In the 1980s, emergence of [[pathological]] and [[electron]] findings from analysis of [[vitrectomy]] and [[enucleation]] specimens led to the discovery of acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]]' cause as members of the herpes virus family.
| |
| *The official diagnostic criteria for acute [[retinal]] [[necrosis]] was proposed by the American [[Uveitis]] Society in 1994.
