Efficacy of early Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 60-year-old woman had central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) presented to the ophthalmology department with a sudden, painless loss of vision. Her initial visual acuity was light perception and she treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) 4 hours after the development of visual symptoms. Systemic risk factors were not found so she was diagnosed as having idiopathic CRAO. Her vision improved from light perception to 20/50 after the HBOT. Any complications such as neovascularization were not developed until the last follow up visit of 8th months. Case Report

Four patients received hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): Three patients had nonarteritic central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO); a fourth patient had a CRAO in the right eye (OD) and a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) with macular involvement in the left eye (OS) secondary to giant cell arteritis. The first two patients presented with a one-day history of CRAO, the third patient with a 1...
متن کاملEarly Onset of Ocular Neovascularization After Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in a Patient With Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an infarction to the retina that results in acute, frequently severe vision loss. Long-term complications such as ocular neovascularization (ONV) can occur and result in neovascular glaucoma and vitreous hemorrhage. Recent studies have explored acute hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy as a promising treatment for CRAO to improve long-term vision potential...
متن کاملThe efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency. Various treatment modalities have been tried, but none have shown to alter natural history of the disease. Hyperoxia can restore retinal oxygenation, and favourable results were obtained with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). We report two patients with sudden visual loss due to CRAO treated with HBOT. Case 1: a 61-year-o...
