Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion as a presenting sign of Acute Retinal Necrosis: a rare association

ConclusionWe report this case to highlight that occlusive vasculopathy can be a presenting sign of an underlying infectious etiology in any age group. BRAO was a rare presenting sign of ARN in our patient. A thorough peripheral examination is recommended in order to avoid missing infectious pathologies such as ARN which starts from the retinal periphery, progresses fast, and if not managed on time may lead to permanent loss of vision.
