PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether a significant correlation exists between the scotopic and photopic components of electroretinograms (ERGs) and the degree of circulation disturbances caused by a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). DESIGN Observational clinical study. PARTICIPANTS Sixteen patients with a CRAO (16 eyes). METHODS The circulatory disturbance in eyes...

CLINICAL CASE A patient with acute amaurosis due central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), who had mitral regurgitation and Streptococcus viridans positive blood cultures. Using transesophageal ultrasound, the patient was diagnosed with native valve infective endocarditis without fever, and with loss of vision as the only symptom. DISCUSSION CRAO due to infective endocarditis is rare and there...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a devastating event and atrial fibrillation (AF) recognized cause that may not be present at the time event. Purpose We performed meta-analysis for association CRAO with risk new-onset AF stroke during follow-up. Methods searched databases MEDLINE, Embase SCOPUS from inception ...

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an of the central that causes a disruption blood flow to retina and may result in ischemia. According American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), CRAO type acute ischemic stroke. There some variation management. Determining most effective therapy remains challenging. We report male, 58th-years-old, with sudden vision loss right ey...

We thank Drs. Yildirim, Kar and Kaya for their interest regarding our paper reporting the uncommon occurrence of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in Susac syndrome (SS) and for re-emphasizing the point that we have made in the article that SS should be kept in mind even when a patient presents with CRAO in one eye only. However we would like to point out that their statement “retinal art...

A 44 year old lady presented with acute onset of loss of vision in the right eye and cough with mucopurulent expectoration for two months. Ophthalmic examination revealed central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Chest radiograph showed multiple cavitatory nodules with fluid levels. Sputum was negative for AFB and ANCA was strongly positive suggestive of a diagnosis of Granulomatosis with Polyan...

A 60-year-old woman had central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) presented to the ophthalmology department with a sudden, painless loss of vision. Her initial visual acuity was light perception and she treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) 4 hours after the development of visual symptoms. Systemic risk factors were not found so she was diagnosed as having idiopathic CRAO. Her vision impr...

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a devastating event and atrial fibrillation (AF) recognized cause that may not be present at the time of event. We aimed to estimate association CRAO with risk new-onset AF stroke during follow-up by performing systematic review meta-analysis published data. searched databases MEDLINE, Embase SCOPUS from inception May 2022 for terms ‘atrial fibrillatio...

purpose : churg-strauss syndrome (css) is a rare form of small vessel necrotizing vasculitis. retinal artery and vein occlusion are very rare findings in these patients and they are treated by high-dose corticosteroids and cytotoxics. we describe a rare case of css under high-dose corticosteroids and cytotoxic treatment, presenting central retinal artery occlusion (crao). case report : a 45-yea...

BACKGROUND Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a stroke of the retina and is associated with extremely poor prognosis. Although the pathophysiology of CRAO is diverse, including autoimmune or hematological disorders, neurosurgeons can perform carotid endarterectomy for the causal internal carotid artery stenosis or perform acute recanalization of the extra- or intracranial artery occlusi...
