- Abstract
Incidence of Herpes Zoster is relatively high. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is one of the most common forms of the disease. Necrotising herpetic retinopathies (including acute retinal necrosis) are rare and usually these complications are presented in literature as individual cases. However, necrotising herpetic retinopathy can lead to complete loss of visual. The article reviews modern data on causation, diagnosis and treatment of acute retinal necrosis analyzing 40 open access articles from EBSCO published in 2011-2019, and describes the modern views on the prevalence and most important clinical features of herpetic acute retinal necrosis. Some contradictory opinions have been revealed concerning the diagnostic criteria and surgical treatment of acute retinal necrosis.
