seen on color photography (Figure 2). Her visual acuity loss and fundus findings were attributed to choroidal infarction that occurred immediately postoperatively. A cerebral internal carotid artery angiogram performed 4 days postoperatively, once her proptosis resolved, revealed a surgical clip at the expected location and no evidence of a clip or obstruction at the level of the ophthalmic artery, suggesting choroidal reperfusion. Her visual acuity remained no light perception.
