  • Title: Juxtapapillary cytomegalovirus retinitis with optic neuritis.
    Author: Ioannidis AS, Bacon J, Frith P.
    Journal: J Neuroophthalmol; 2008 Jun; 28(2):128-30. PubMed ID: 18562846.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old man with AIDS developed acute monocular visual loss and an ipsilateral swollen optic disc with a large right relative afferent pupillary defect, a nerve fiber bundle visual field defect, and a peripapillary retinal infiltrate. Lumbar puncture disclosed cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA on polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Treatment with oral valganciclovir produced complete resolution of the visual deficits and the fundus abnormality. This case differs from previously reported cases of CMV optic neuritis in which visual function has been irreversibly lost.
