Retinal artery occlusions (RAO) are characterized by the sudden obstruction of the arterial blood flow in the retinal circulation with consequent ischemic damage to the retina. RAO can be subdivided into several forms, including central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO). Patients affected by CRAO experience a sudden, monocular loss of vision. On fundus b...

A 61-year-old man presented with acute, painful loss of vision in the left eye due to a central retinal artery occlusion. Fluorescein angiography confirmed the central retinal artery occlusion and also identified a nasal posterior ciliary artery occlusion. CT scanning revealed a left medial orbital mass with adjacent ethmoid sinusitis. Transnasal ethmoid biopsy disclosed mucormycosis. A left ex...

large intercoronary communications in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease constitute a very rare coronary artery anomaly in which there is a readily visible connection between the 2 coronary arteries with a unidirectional or bidirectional blood flow; consequently, this anomaly may be misinterpreted as a functioning collateral vessel, indicative of an unrecognized proximal coronar...

Objective: A case of posterior cerebral artery (P1 segment) occlusion with consciousness disturbance and Weber’s syndrome treated by mechanical thrombectomy is reported.
