A case of cilioretinal artery occlusion resembling hemicentral retinal artery occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 77-year-old man presented with an inferior hemivisual field defect in the left eye. Funduscopy revealed well demarcated retinal edema of the superior quadrant resembling hemicentral retinal artery occlusion. Further, the upper and inferior retinal arteries emerged separately from the optic disc. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated a marked filling delay of the upper retinal artery. We repeated fluorescein angiography, which showed that the involved upper retinal artery was a cilioretinal artery having an earlier dye appearance than the lower retinal artery. We suggest that when cases of hemicentral retinal artery occlusion are encountered, vascular architecture at the optic disc should be evaluated carefully.

متن کاملNeovascular glaucoma associated with cilioretinal artery occlusion combined with perfused central retinal vein occlusion.
BACKGROUND Cilioretinal artery occlusion rarely results in neovascular glaucoma, especially in cases of extensive cilioretinal infarction and combined retinal vascular occlusion. CASE A 62-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension showed a visual acuity of counting fingers, retinal whitening temporal to the optic disc with mild dilation and tortuosity of the retinal veins...
متن کاملImpending central retinal vein occlusion associated with cilioretinal artery obstruction
We report a case of a patient with an impending central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) with cilioretinal artery obstruction, which may help to understand the nature of the retinal hemodynamic changes associated with CRVO which shows direct evidence of arterial vasospasm, suggesting an increased contractility of retinal arteries. The clinical course, with initial retinal whitening along a ciliore...
متن کاملPreservation of retinal structure and function after cilioretinal artery occlusion: a case report
Cilioretinal artery occlusion is a cause of sudden, often catastrophic loss of central vision. There are no established effective treatments. Recently, a patient presented 24 hours after a cilioretinal artery occlusion, following a cardiac catheterization prior to which her blood thinners had been discontinued. Lacking an effective way to address the severe retinal ischemic oxidative stress, sh...
متن کاملImaging of a Cilioretinal Artery Embolisation
Retinal artery occlusion can be the first indicator of a significant cardiovascular disorder and the need for treatment. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a cilioretinal artery occlusion and retinal ischemia. Retinal imaging, in particular fundus autofluorescence, highlighted an intraluminal hyperautofluorescent lesion which led to the diagnosis of retinal emboli. Subsequently a sev...
