Orbital ischemia syndrome in a patient with carotid artery dissection - Case report

Abstract

Background and Aims : Orbital ischemia syndrome is a very rare presentation of ocular ischemic syndrome. The cause is usually vascular pathology in the carotid artery, most often on the basis of atherosclerosis or, more rarely, dissection of the carotid artery. Our aim is to draw attention in the form of a case report to an unusual clinical manifestation of carotid artery dissection.
