چکیده
CLINICAL CASE We report a case of a 31 year-old woman with a sudden visual loss due to a cilioretinal artery occlusion. The physical examinination showed hepatomegaly. Serum iron and ferritin and transferrin saturation were unusually high. The doppler scan of carotid arteries showed no relevant signs of atheromatous disease. Dilated cardiomiopaty was revealed in the B-scan with subendocardial calcium deposits. Genetic tests were positive for hemochromatosis. DISCUSSION Subendocardial calcification due to hemochromatosis could be the embolic source in our patient. This embolic ocular disease is the first presentation of hemochromatosis in this patient.
