title: Acute retinal necrosis presenting as central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of acute retinal necrosis presenting as central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing.
  
  
  METHODS
  Single interventional case report. The findings of the ophthalmic examination, MRI, blood parameters, biopsy results and clinical course are reported.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A forty two year old gentleman reporting sudden loss of sight, ophthalmic examination revealing uveitis, central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing and peripheral necrotizing retinitis.
