چکیده
PURPOSE To document a case of central retinal artery occlusion after chiropractic treatment. METHODS An 87-year-old man suffered a central retinal artery occlusion immediately after chiropractic neck manipulation. RESULTS A magnetic resonance angiogram showed an atherosclerotic plaque in the ipsilateral carotid artery, which probably shed emboli during cervical joint mobilization. CONCLUSION The carotid arteries should be approached carefully in patients with known or suspected atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries.
