Abstract

PURPOSE: To report an unusual case of central retinal artery occlusion in a 41-year-old woman. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 41-year-old woman presented with sudden and painless decrease of visual acuity of the left eye. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed the typical fundus findings of a central retinal artery occlusion. The fovea was spared by a cilioretinal arteriole. RESULTS: Cerebral angiography showed an aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery, measuring approximately 1.7 × 1.5 × 1.7 cm. The aneurysm was located in close proximity to the ophthalmic branch. CONCLUSION: Aneurysm of the intracranial arteries should be included in the differential diagnosis of central retinal artery occlusion in young patients.
