چکیده
Purpose To present the reversal of a cilioretinal artery occlusion with the use of intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator. Observations A monocular 74 year old male presented with a cilioretinal artery occlusion. Treatment with intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator 7 hours after the onset of symptoms led to a complete restoration of vision. Conclusions and importance Early intervention with tissue plasminogen activator reversed acute onset loss of vision from cilioretinal artery occlusion.

BACKGROUND Acute vertebrobasilar occlusion remains a disease with a high mortality even after treatment by local intra-arterial fibrinolysis. Adjunctive treatment with platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors such as abciximab may facilitate recanalization and improve the neurological outcome. Results after treatment of 3 patients by combined intravenous abciximab and local intra-arte...

متن کاملEndovascular revascularization for basilar artery occlusion.
Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions known to man. Though rare, patients with clinical syndromes localized to this anatomical region are often referred to acute stroke and endovascular units. Recent studies evaluating the efficacy of endovascular approaches to stroke have focused on anterior circulation syndromes. In this review, we examine the approac...
