Sumario:BACKGROUND: We report a case of chronic retinal necrosis (CRN) combined with cytomegalovirus (CMV) corneal endotheliitis. CASE PRESENTATION: An 80-year old man was diagnosed with CRN that developed after tube shunt surgery with vitrectomy for secondary glaucoma associated with CMV corneal endotheliitis. After the use of oral valganciclovir and panretinal photocoagulation, the retinal lesion resolved rapidly and he has maintained visual acuity better than before the onset of CRN. CONCLUSIONS: Use of oral valganciclovir, prophylactic panretinal photocoagulation for the non- perfusion area and vitrectomy were effective in maintaining the visual acuity for the patient with CRN.
