“…[2–6] Only one case of bilateral CRAO following head trauma has been reported previously(MEDLINE search http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/). [3] Our case is the second reported case in English literature of bilateral CRAO following head trauma. In our case the most likely etiology of obstruction was embolism (clot/fat) from the fractured mandible.…”

A 30-year-old patient presented at our outpatient department with complaints of severe loss of vision in both eyes following a head injury six days back. He also had a fracture at left side of the mandible and a few bruises over the left cheek. External ocular examination revealed subconjuctival hemorrhage in the left eye and bilateral sluggishly reacting pupils. Fundus examination showed white- out retina and a cherry red spot at the macula in both eyes. A clinical diagnosis of bilateral central retinal arterial obstruction (CRAO) was made which was later confirmed by fundus fluorescence angiography. Bilateral CRAO is a rare disease usually found in patients with cardiac embolic diseases, giant cell arteritis or systemic vascular inflammations. Our case is the second reported case in English literature of bilateral CRAO following head trauma.

“…Bilateral CRAOs have been reported in the setting of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, giant cell arteritis, homocystinuria, sickle cell disease, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, atherosclerosis, mitral valve prolapse, and head trauma. [12][13][14][15][16] To our knowledge, there is only 1 other reported case in the literature of bilateral CRAO from endocarditis. 17 Approximately 5% of patients with what appears to be a CRAO actually have an ophthalmic artery occlusion.…”

Purpose: This report describes a patient with bilateral, sequential central retinal artery occlusions (CRAOs) due to infective endocarditis (IE). Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 35-year-old man with IE who recently completed a course of intravenous antibiotic therapy presented with sudden right-eye vision loss. Examination revealed hand motion vision, a cherry-red spot in the macula in the right eye, and an embolus in the inferotemporal arcade of the left eye. The diagnosis of right-eye CRAO secondary to IE was made, with the presumed source being his dental caries. The patient was admitted with plans for aortic valve replacement and dental extraction. During his hospitalization, the patient suffered from a CRAO in his left eye, resulting in bilateral loss of vision. Conclusions: IE can have severe embolic complications; prompt diagnosis and treatment medically and surgically are necessary to reduce further morbidity and mortality.
