Overview
The American Uveitis Society determined five diagnostic criteria for Acute retinal necrosis in 1994.
Diagnostic Criteria
The diagnosis of acute retinal necrosis is made when the following criteria are met:[1]
- One or more discrete foci of peripheral retinal necrosis, located outside of the major temporal vascular arcades
- Circumferential spread if antiviral therapy has not been administered
- Occlusive retinal vasculopathy
- A prominent vitreous or anterior chamber inflammation
- Rapid disease progression in the absence of therapy
