ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report a case of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) of the left eye combined with left congenital common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) and internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO).METHODS:
Case report.RESULTS:
A 36-year-old man presented with sudden vision loss of only the left eye without any signs or symptoms of brain diseases. Fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) showed left BRAO, and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the head and neck showed entire left CCAO and ICAO. The patient's left vertebral artery was anastomosed with the left occipital artery via the muscular branch, supplying blood retrogradely to the left external carotid artery. The right internal carotid artery compensated for blood supply to the left anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery via anterior communication, and the left posterior communication artery compensated for blood supply to the left middle cerebral artery.CONCLUSIONS:
To our knowledge, this study was the first to report a case of BRAO combined with congenital CCAO and ICAO with vision loss as the first symptom and proposed the importance of head and neck examination in retinal artery occlusion at the first visit to a doctor.Palabras clave
