Abstract

We report the case of a healthy 55-year-old patient, who consulted at the ophthalmology emergency for a rapidly progressive unilateral visual impairment of the left right eye without neurological signs. Fundus examination of the right eye found retinal whitening following the territory of the cilioretinal artery corresponding to cilioretinal artery occlusion; dilated and tortuous retinal veins, and scattered retinal hemorrhages on the lower quadrants as well a puddle-like hemorrhages at the interpapillomacular area (Figure 1: Panel A). Fluoresceine angiography targeted a delayed perfusion of the inferior temporal branch vein (arrows) (Figure1: panel B). Macular OCT showed moderate macular thickening in the nasal macula and hyper reflectivity of the inner layers of the retina (Figure 2).
