Idiopathic Photoreceptoritis: An Unusual Variant of Outer Retinopathy
The term "photoreceptoritis" describes conditions involving diffuse photoreceptor damage, predominantly unilateral, without primary choriocapillaritis. This case highlights a severe form of photoreceptoritis with diffuse photoreceptors loss, likely triggered by a herpetic labial infection. The disease was stabilized with antiviral therapy, while structural recovery of the photoreceptors was achieved through anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive treatments. This report underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to managing atypical retinal inflammatory disorders.
