Central retinal artery occlusion

A variety of disorders may lead to rapid, painless, monocular or binocular vision loss. This may include central retinal artery occlusion, acute narrow-angle glaucoma, trauma, or others. The differential diagnosis is complex and needs to be undertaken by an emergency department or ophthalmologist.9... [Pg.937]

Central retinal artery occlusion has previously been reported in cases of intravenous and intranasal cocaine abuse and has also been reported in a man who smoked crack cocaine (166). [Pg.503]

More selective application of thrombolysis has been attempted with injection of urokinase into the ophthalmic artery. Paques et al. (45) reported retrospectively on 26 eyes treated in this method, nine of which were combined central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and CRVO. The visual acuity improved significantly in only six...

Cardiovascular Three cases of central retinal artery occlusion after surgery with peribulbar anesthesia have been reported [47 ]. In two cases ropivacaine 0.75% (17 and 13 ml) was used in the third case the block was done with 14 ml of 2% mepivacaine. The authors suggested that these cases might be related to raised intraocular pressure due to the block or vasoconstriction caused by the local anesthetics. [Pg.287]

Injected autologous fat was associated with worse final best-corrected visual acuity than the other materials. All patients with ophthalmic artery occlusion had ocular pain and no improvement in best-corrected visual acuity. Optical coherence tomography revealed thinner and less vascular choroids in eyes with ophthalmic artery occlusion than in adjacent normal eyes. Concomitant brain infarction developed in 2 cases each of central retinal artery occlusion and ophthalmic artery occlusion. Phthisis developed in 1 case of ophthalmic artery occlusion. [Pg.207]
