ABSTRACT
Ocular ischemic syndrome is an uncommon ocular condition occurring secondary to marked carotid arterial obstruction. It generally develops in older patients, in conjunction with entities associated with systemic artherosclerosis. We have currently encountered a case of monocular visual loss in a 65 year old patient who had a recent attack of cerebrovascular accident. Ocular examination revealed characteristic findings of chronic ischemia, including corneal edema, rubeosis, anterior uveitis, progressing cataract, retinal arterial narrowing, venous irregular dilatation and scattered retinal hemorrhages. Diagnosis was made by the fluorescein angiographic findings of prolonged retinal circulation time and diffuse capillary non perfusion as well as by carotid MR-Angiographic finding of complete obstruction of internal caratid artery.
