Abbreviations: AD, maximum amplitude in the dark period; AL, minimum amplitude in the light period during FO measurement; BRVO, branch retinal vein occlusion; CRAO, central retinal arterial occlusion; CRVO, central retinal vein occlusion; dfFO, average difference in μV between AD and AL during the FO measurement; df/mFO, percentage ratio of the dfFO to the average amplitude of AD + AL (m); EOG,...

BACKGROUND A 75 year old lady presented with acute central retinal artery occlusion and contralateral cotton wool spots. CASE PRESENTATION General physical examination and investigations led to a diagnosis of CREST syndrome; however, association of central retinal artery occlusion with CREST syndrome is not well known. While diabetes, systemic hypertension, carotid atherosclerosis and cardiac...

BACKGROUND Full field and pattern electroretinograms (ERG, PERG) are performed to assess generalised retinal function and macular function, respectively. An (electro) negative full field ERG usually describes an ISCEV standard maximal response in which the b-wave is smaller than a normal or minimally reduced a-wave and indicates dysfunction that is post-phototransduction. The most common cause ...

The acute irreversible loss of vision associated with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) can be devastating, especially in young patients. literature has revealed potential risk factors, including hypercoagulability, trauma, sickle cell disorders, cardiac valvular disease, carotid stenosis, use oral contraceptives, pregnancy, collagen vascular increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve dr...

Hypoxia plays an important role in several retinal diseases, especially in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Although CRAO has been known for over a hundred years, no cure or sufficient treatment is available. Potential therapies are being evaluated in several in vivo models or primary cultures. However, in vivo models or primary cultures are very time-consuming, expensive, and furthermo...
