Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is an inflammatory condition characterized by a peripheral retinal necrosis due to an infection with varicella-zoster virus or herpes simplex virus. It is commonly seen in immunocompetent adults and is known for its rapid evolution and poor prognosis. Our case study illustrates the gravity of this condition with an extremely rapid ARN that was hard to diagnose.
