ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the major types and characteristics of the patients with cilioretinal artery occlusion. Methods Ten patients(10 eyes)with cilioretinal artery occlusion were gathered.Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography were used for the analysis of the clinical manifestations in ten patients. Results Of the ten patients,the isolated occlusion of a cilioretinal artery(which we defined as typeⅠ)was revealed in four patients,the central retinal vein association with cilioretinal artery occlusion(type Ⅱ)was revealed in four patients,central retinal artery association with cilioretinal artery occlusion(type Ⅲ)was revealed in two patients. The images of fundus fluorescein angiography showed fluorescein filled of cilioretinal artery slow,and completely filled of cilioretinal artery late. The visual prognosis is satisfied in typeⅠ,but worse in type Ⅱ and the worst in type Ⅲ. Conclusions The visual prognosis of cilioretinal artery occlusion is different due to the various clinical manifestations revealed. Fundus fluorescein angiography could be used to identify the type and evaluate the visual prognosis of cilioretinal artery occlusion.
