Ophthalmic artery MRI in an arteritis-related central retinal artery occlusion.
A 45-year-old woman with a cutaneous lupus without antiphospholipid antibody, treated by prophylactic anticoagulation, presented with an acute and severe painless vision loss of the left eye. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) was diagnosed on ophthalmologic examination (figure 1). MRI suggested a primitive inflammation of the ophthalmic artery (figure 2). There was no evidence of a cardia...
متن کاملOphthalmic Artery Aneurysm: Potential Culprit of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is one of the most devastating ophthalmic emergencies, causing acute painless visual loss in the affected eye. We describe the first case of acute non-arteritic CRAO associated with peripheral ophthalmic artery aneurysm and its clinical course after intra-arterial thrombolysis therapy. This case suggests that ophthalmic artery aneurysm can be the cause of...
متن کاملCentral Retinal Artery Occlusion Masquerading as Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion
Dear Editor, Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is characterized by attenuated arterioles and ischemic retinal opacity, which suggest retinal infarction. Branch RAO (BRAO) has a more favorable prognosis than central RAO (CRAO). CRAO and BRAO can be differentiated based on the isch-emic retinal opacity area, location of the attenuated vessels , and a cherry-red spot [1]. However, we encountered a ca...
متن کاملConcurrent central retinal artery occlusion and branch retinal vein occlusion in giant cell arteritis
Ophthalmic involvement in giant cell arteritis can manifest in a number of ways. Central retinal artery occlusion is one of the common causes of visual loss in giant cell arteritis. On the contrary, branch retinal vein occlusion is rarely associated with the latter. We report an 89-year-old lady with acute left central retinal artery occlusion on a background of progressive decline in vision ov...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ophthalmic Artery Branch Retrograde Intervention in the Treatment of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO)
BACKGROUND Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is the occlusion of the central retinal artery resulting in retinal infarction and acute vision loss. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided superselective ophthalmic artery or selective carotid thrombolysis remains the preferred treatment method for CRAO. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of the novel ophthalm...
