PURPOSE To report a case of acute retinal necrosis presenting as central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing. METHODS Single interventional case report. The findings of the ophthalmic examination, MRI, blood parameters, biopsy results and clinical course are reported. RESULTS A forty two year old gentleman reporting sudden loss of sight, ophthalmic examination revealing uveitis, central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing and peripheral necrotizing retinitis. CONCLUSIONS Central retinal artery occlusion can be an early feature of acute retinal necrosis (ARN).

Retinal Artery Occlusion
Retinal artery occlusions (RAO) are characterized by the sudden obstruction of the arterial blood flow in the retinal circulation with consequent ischemic damage to the retina. RAO can be subdivided into several forms, including central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO). Patients affected by CRAO experience a sudden, monocular loss of vision. On fundus b...
متن کاملCentral Retinal Artery Occlusion with Sparing of Cilioretinal Artery Post Pulmonary Artery Stenting
Central retinal arterial occlusion is an ocular emergency. Central retinal artery occlusion following cardiac procedures have been described in adults. We describe a pediatric patient who developed central retinal artery occlusion following pulmonary artery stenting. It is important to highlight this potential risk to ensure early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
متن کاملNeovascular glaucoma associated with cilioretinal artery occlusion combined with perfused central retinal vein occlusion.
BACKGROUND Cilioretinal artery occlusion rarely results in neovascular glaucoma, especially in cases of extensive cilioretinal infarction and combined retinal vascular occlusion. CASE A 62-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension showed a visual acuity of counting fingers, retinal whitening temporal to the optic disc with mild dilation and tortuosity of the retinal veins...
متن کاملImpending central retinal vein occlusion associated with cilioretinal artery obstruction
We report a case of a patient with an impending central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) with cilioretinal artery obstruction, which may help to understand the nature of the retinal hemodynamic changes associated with CRVO which shows direct evidence of arterial vasospasm, suggesting an increased contractility of retinal arteries. The clinical course, with initial retinal whitening along a ciliore...

Clinical findings and complementary studies suggested a bilateral atherogenic embolic event. Initially, she presented a superior branch retinal artery occlusion in her right eye followed by a central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal artery sparing in her left eye. Some conservat...
