Central 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 کاملThe relation of retinal artery occlusion and carotid artery stenosis.
We retrospectively studied 46 patients with symptomatic retinal artery occlusion and assessed the pattern and extent of carotid artery disease ipsilateral to the retinal artery occlusion. Ipsilateral internal carotid artery atherosclerotic lesions were virtually limited to the cervical arterial segment; 50% of such lesions were plaques or stenoses of less than or equal to 60%, whereas 15% of th...
متن کاملPeripheral Artery Disease Extracranial Carotid Disease Revascularization
Extracranial carotid artery stenosis is a factor in 20% to 30% of all strokes.1,2 Revascularization strategies using surgical carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS) offer the possibility of stroke prevention by restoring flow and mitigating the risk for future plaqueassociated embolization. Numerous studies have assessed whether these procedures reduce the risk for stroke...
متن کاملManagement of extracranial carotid artery disease.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in developed nations. Up to 88% of strokes are ischemic in nature. Extracranial carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is the third leading cause of ischemic stroke in the general population and the second most common nontraumatic cause among adults younger than 45 years. This article provides comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for the manag...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Extracranial Carotid Artery Disease
In the last six years the indications for performance of carotid endarterectomy have become standardized by the availability of level one evidence from cooperative trial data. Four randomized cooperative trials for asymptomatic carotid disease and three randomized cooperative trials of symptomatic carotid disease have been completed and published. Asymptomatic carotid disease with 60% or greate...
