Definition (free text, please give PubMed ID)
A condition characterized by the death of retinal tissue due to ischemia, infection, or inflammation. Retinal necrosis can result from vascular occlusion, viral infections such as varicella-zoster virus (VZV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV), or autoimmune processes. Clinically, it presents with retinal whitening, hemorrhages, and potential retinal detachment, often leading to severe visual impairment or blindness if untreated.
