    The overall incidence of retinal detachment (RD) following acute retinal necrosis (ARN) was 12.49% in a cohort of 1,785 patients.

  • 2

    Most cases of RD (60.5%) occurred within the first 3 months after ARN diagnosis, highlighting a critical monitoring period.

  • 3

    Demographic factors such as age, sex, diabetes status, and immunosuppression showed no significant association with RD incidence.

  • 4

    Aggressive combination therapy was used in severe cases, yet RD occurred frequently, indicating treatment does not eliminate risk.

  • 5

    Findings emphasize the need for close ophthalmic monitoring during the initial months post-ARN diagnosis due to high RD risk.
