Central retinal artery occlusion in association with fibromuscular dysplasia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 14 year-old female, whose chief complaint was severe vision loss in the right eye for 2 days, presented to the Clinic of Ophthalmology of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Education and Research Hospital. The patient had been attending follow-up visits for 4 years, following a diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia by the Clinic of Pediatrics. The patient underwent a complete ophthalmo-logic, angiographic, hematologic, and systemic evaluation. Fundus fluorescein angiography was performed immediately, because of the cherry-red spot sign in the macula of the right eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed evidence of marked stasis of the retinal arterial circulation in the right eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/400 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye.

A patient with cervicocranial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured dissecting distal vertebral artery aneurysm required clip ligation of the parent artery; a contralateral dissecting proximal vertebral aneurysm was occluded with detachable coils.

متن کاملSpontaneous recanalization of the occluded internal carotid artery. A report of two cases.
Spontaneous recanalization of the occluded internal carotid artery (ICA) is more frequent than is generally believed. The timing of spontaneous recanalization remains unclear but it may occur as either an early or a late event. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the importance of spontaneous recanalization and its consequences. From September 2008 to November 2010 we prospectively foll...
