Traumatic Optic Neuropathy and Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Following Blunt Ocular Trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED We present a case as a rare sign of traumatic optic neuropathy and central retinal artery occlusion following blunt ocular trauma. A 10-year-old child suffered complete loss of the vision of one eye following a blunt ocular injury. He sustained an occlusion of the central retinal artery and traumatic optic neurupathy of the affected eye. Isolated cases of central retinal vessel occlusions and traumatic optic neurapathy following ocular blunt trauma are rare conditions. Clinicians to be aware of the potential for blunt ocular trauma to cause optic nerve damage and retinal vessel occlusions. KEYWORDS Blunt ocular trauma; Retinal artery occlusion; Traumatic optic neuropathy.

Traumatic optic neuropathy and central retinal artery occlusion following blunt trauma to the eyebrow
A 15yearold boy suffered from blunt trauma to the left eyebrow (Figure 1A arrow). Three hours after the trauma, he had a visual acuity (VA) of no light perception (NLP) in the left eye. Relative afferent pupillary defect was positive in the left eye. The intraocular pressure of each eye was 15 mm Hg. Anterior segment examination results were unremarkable. Funduscopic examination results were no...

متن کاملVascular Occlusions following Ocular Surgical Procedures: A Clinical Observation of Vascular Complications after Ocular Surgery
BACKGROUND Ocular vascular occlusions following intraocular procedures are a rare complication. We report a case series of patients with retinal vascular occlusions or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) after anterior and posterior segment surgery and demonstrate possible risk factors. METHODS Observational case series. RESULTS In ten patients, vascular occlusions were observed withi...
متن کاملPerioperative visual loss in ocular and nonocular surgery
Incidence estimates for perioperative vision loss (POVL) after nonocular surgery range from 0.013% for all surgeries up to 0.2% following spine surgery. The most common neuro-ophthalmologic causes of POVL are the ischemic optic neuropathies (ION), either anterior (AION) or posterior (PION). We identified 111 case reports of AION following nonocular surgery in the literature, with most occurring...
متن کاملIschemic optic neuropathy associated with internal carotid artery dissection.
BACKGROUND Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is an infarction of the anterior or, less frequently, posterior part of the optic nerve, usually due to a disease of small arteries supplying the optic nerve. Carotid stenosis or occlusions are rare causes, and among them, carotid dissections have been so far reported in only 5 cases. METHODS We describe 4 patients with ION (2 anterior and 2 posterio...
