Traumatic Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: Case Report and Review of the Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an uncommon entity in ophthalmic practice. Reported etiologies are numerous, and involve systemic and ocular preexisting pathologies. A traumatic etiology for CRAO is rare with anecdotal reports and poor visual outcomes. No specific treatment guidelines exist to date. We report a case of traumatic CRAO in a young female without any systemic vascular risk factors; it is clinical course and management. Physician awareness to this rare condition is important for prompt diagnosis and treatment while the retinal tissue is viable and visual restoration is possible.

متن کاملAn unusual cause of visual loss after Herpes zoster ophthalmicus: a case report
INTRODUCTION The vascular complications of herpes zoster are well recognised, however, there are few reports of central retinal artery occlusion. Central retinal artery occlusion following herpes zoster ophthalmicus is poorly recognised. This is likely due to the difficulties in obtaining tissue for histopathology to establish causality. We report a case of central retinal artery occlusion and ...
