ARN is very diffi cult to make diagnosis if patient have several complicated ocular diseases and no views on the fundus examination. In this study, a suspicious ARN case reported here who had a left eye sudden visual loss, periorbital pain, uveitis, vitreous opacity, old choroidal hemorrhage and an area of pale retina (fundus was partially viewed due to cataract and vitreous opacity). A vitrectomy was performed and found vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and a newer choroidal hemorrhage (CH) instead of ARN. Reviews on the clinical fi nding and management of patients with ARN, VA and CH were discussed in this report.
