PURPOSE To report a case of acute retinal necrosis presenting as central retinal artery occlusion with cilioretinal sparing. METHODS Single interventional case report. The findings of the ophthalmic examination, MRI, blood parameters, biopsy results and clinical course are reported. RESULTS A forty two year old gentleman reporting sudden loss of sight, ophthalmic examination revealing uveit...

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...

results this review explores the relationship between metabolic syndrome, including all its components, and various ocular conditions such as retinopathy, central retinal artery occlusion, cataract and elevated intraocular pressure. context metabolic syndrome (metabolic syndrome x) is a prevalent cluster of risk factors that include high bmi, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. i...

Dear Editor, Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is characterized by attenuated arterioles and ischemic retinal opacity, which suggest retinal infarction. Branch RAO (BRAO) has a more favorable prognosis than central RAO (CRAO). CRAO and BRAO can be differentiated based on the isch-emic retinal opacity area, location of the attenuated vessels , and a cherry-red spot [1]. However, we encountered a ca...

BACKGROUND We report a case of bilateral central retinal artery occlusion and the evaluation of retinal vasculature and capillaries by using optical coherence tomography angiography. CASE PRESENTATION A 75-year-old white man presented with central retinal artery occlusion in one eye and underwent a carotid angioplasty. Upon discontinuing anticoagulant, he had a subsequent central retinal arte...

BACKGROUND Combined branch retinal artery and central retinal vein occlusion is a rare condition that has been infrequently reported. This case report, aside from reporting the above-mentioned condition, highlights the importance of performing spectral domain optical coherence tomography in establishing a complete diagnosis, especially in uncertain and complicated cases. We also present spectra...
