Abstract
To describe a case of progressive outer retinal necrosis syndrome that regressed spontaneously after discontinuation of all systemic antiviral medications with macular sparing after prophylactic laser photocoagulation of the posterior pole. Prophylactic laser photocoagulation surrounding the posterior pole was performed in an attempt to spare the macula from detachment in a patient with progressive outer retinal necrosis. Progressive outer retinal necrosis regressed spontaneously without systemic antiviral medications. The posterior pole within the area of photocoagulation remained attached. Prophylactic laser treatment surrounding the posterior pole rather than peripheral retina may allow more time for formation of firm chorioretinal adhesions and protect the macula from detachment.
