Özet

Painful orbital inflammation and scleritis-like clinical appearance can be the initial manifestation of acute retinal necrosis. We report a 25-year-old woman who first presented with painful orbitopathy that eventually developed into unilateral acute retinal necrosis with typical fundus appearance. Our case illustrates the importance of careful fundus examination in cases presenting with painful orbital inflammation.
