Bilateral acute macular neuroretinopathy after Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis
After conducting a literature review in August 2024 using PubMed and Google Scholar, using the keywords "acute macular neuroretinopathy", "AMN", "Epstein-Barr", "Epstein-Barr virus", "EBV", "encephalitis" "Epstein-Barr encephalitis" "EBV encephalitis" we did not find any previous reports of AMN associated with EBV encephalitis, such as in our case. Near infrared imaging and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography are key diagnostic tools for this condition, even when fundoscopic findings are subtle.
