Central Retinal Artery Occlusion after the Endovascular Treatment of Unruptured Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report and a Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endovascular coil embolization for ophthalmic artery (OphA) aneurysms has a risk of occlusion of the OphA, which can lead to loss of vision. The authors report a patient with unruptured OphA aneurysm which treated with endovascular coiling and were complicated by blindness due to OphA thromboembolic occlusion after the procedure. The OphA successfully recanalized using local intra-arterial fibrinolysis with complete regain of visual acuity. The risk of visual loss due to thromboembolic complications cannot be ignored during endovascular coiling of the OphA aneurysm despite of good retrograde flow during OphA occlusion test using a balloon catheter. Rapid intervention is required for recovering visual disturbance in such a situation.

متن کاملCase Report: A Troublesome Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm
Objective and Importance When treating large unruptured ophthalmic artery (OA) aneurysms causing progressive blindness, surgical clipping is still the preferred method because aneurysm sac decompression may relieve optic nerve compression. However, endovascular treatment of OA aneurysms has made important progress with the introduction of stents. Although this development is welcomed, it also m...

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...
