AAssociation of progressive outer retinal necrosis and varicella zoster encephalitis in a patient with AIDS
Methods
CASE REPORT
Figure 1 Progressive outer retinal necrosis (left eye). Early in the disease, the posterior pole shows a pale oedemic area, with a cherry red spot appearance of the macula. In te mid periphery, multiple small yellowish infiltrates can be seen, that become confluent in the later stages
Figure 3 Progressive outer retinal necrosis (left eye), 10 days after the stage of Figure 1. Perivascular clearing: while the retinitis progresses, oedema is cleared in the peri-vasular areas.
Figure 2 Fluorescein angiography (left eye) shows infiltrations in the deep retinal layer. The vasculature is normal; no signs of vasculitis are present.
Figure 4 Progressive outer retinal necrosis (left eye). Ultimately, the retina becomes burned out: note atrophic areas and destruction of the vasculature. Optic disc pallor can be seen.
Results of diagnostic procedures and necropsy

Figure 5 Coronal section of the right parietal lobe. Several large and small necrotic foci (arrows) in the white matter. Some lesions mimic laminar necrosis. The central white matter is mildly demyelinated.

Patient 13, whose retinitis remained smouldering, was non-compliant with respect to his PI and anti-CMV medications, and died after 16 weeks of follow up. Vitritis is indicated by an asterisk.
