Optic disc edema with peripapillary serous retinal detachment as the presenting sign of necrotizing herpetic retinitis
PURPOSE: To describe an atypical case of necrotizing herpetic retinitis (NHR) that presented initially with mild anterior uveitis, optic disc swelling, and peripapillary serous retinal detachment (SRD). OBSERVATIONS: A 48-year-old Asian Indian man presented with blurred central vision and pain in hi...

description | PURPOSE: To describe an atypical case of necrotizing herpetic retinitis (NHR) that presented initially with mild anterior uveitis, optic disc swelling, and peripapillary serous retinal detachment (SRD). OBSERVATIONS: A 48-year-old Asian Indian man presented with blurred central vision and pain in his left eye. Examination revealed mild anterior chamber inflammation, optic disc swelling, and a peripapillary SRD in the affected eye. Multimodal imaging, including widefield fluorescein angiography, showed optic disc leakage and confirmed the presence of a peripapillary SRD, but was otherwise unremarkable with no evidence of retinitis. The patient was diagnosed with presumed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and was treated with systemic corticosteroids. While there was objective visual improvement initially, the patient subsequently noted peripheral vision loss and was found to have peripheral necrotizing retinitis and occlusive retinal vasculitis in affected eye. Polymerase chain reaction-based testing of aqueous humor detected varicella zoster virus DNA, confirming the diagnosis of NHR. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Optic disc edema and peripapillary SRD may precede the development of overt retinitis in some patients with NHR. |
