Ophthalmic 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...

Ophthalmic abnormalities and reading impairment.

OBJECTIVES To explore associations between specific learning disorder with impairment in reading (dyslexia) and ophthalmic abnormalities in children aged 7 to 9 years. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis was performed on cohort study data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Reading impairment was defined according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fi...

Systemic abnormalities associated with retinal vein occlusion in young patients

OBJECTIVES To study the systemic abnormalities associated with retinal vein occlusion in patients aged ≤50 years with a particular emphasis on atherosclerotic diseases and thrombophilic disorders. METHODS Medical charts of patients, aged ≤50 years whose diagnoses were retinal vein occlusions during the period 1995-2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was the number of syste...

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...
