Abstract

Ocular manifestations can occur in approximately 70% of human immunodeficiency virus acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients and posterior segment involvement seen in about 50% cases is the most common presentation. We report a case of 39 years old HIV positive male who presented with unilateral central retinal artery occlusion with simultaneous third nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance Imaging brain revealed acute infarct in thalamo-capsular region on right side and old lacunar infarct involving pons on left side. We report this case for its rare presentation of CRAO and simultaneous third nerve palsy in HIV infection.
