cqvip:Progressive outer retinal necrosis is a necrotizing herpetic retinopathy usua lly seen in immunocompromised patients. The authors describe two patients with t his disease who initially had findings suggestive of an optic neuropathy. Vision declined after treatment with methylprednisolone, after which fundus examinatio n became consistent with progressive outer retinal necrosis. These cases undersc ore the importance of careful examination of the retinal periphery before manage ment of any presumed optic neuropathy with steroids.
