STRANGULATION-INDUCED CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2017 July
PURPOSE: To describe a patient with central retinal artery occlusion following an episode of mechanical strangulation.
METHODS: A retrospective case report. An 83-year-old man presented with acute vision loss in his right eye after a strangling episode. Multimodal clinical imaging was performed.
RESULTS: Visual acuity in the affected right eye was no light perception. Examination revealed optic nerve edema and optic nerve pallor and also severe vascular attenuation and a cherry-red spot in the macula.
CONCLUSION: Mechanical disruption of carotid plaque can lead to occlusion of the central retinal artery, which may portend a dismal visual prognosis.
