title: Acute retinal necrosis (Kirisawa's uveitis).
abstract: Four cases of acute retinal necrosis accompanied by acute uveitis, retinal obliterative vasculitis and confluent yellow-white lesions in the peripheral fundus followed by retinal detachment are reported. The clinical course was rapidly progressive and the prognosis was poor despite various treatments. No systemic abnormality was found and etiology could not be identified. In reviewing the 40 cases so far reported, including our 4 cases, we came to the conclusion that acute retinal necrosis and Kirisawa's uveitis fall into the same clinical study.
