Cilioretinal artery occlusion is a cause of sudden, often catastrophic loss of central vision. There are no established effective treatments. Recently, a patient presented 24 hours after a cilioretinal artery occlusion, following a cardiac catheterization prior to which her blood thinners had been discontinued. Lacking an effective way to address the severe retinal ischemic oxidative stress, she was offered, under compassionate use, a multivitamin complex designed to address retinal ischemia and oxidative stress. Significant components of this product are L-methylfolate and n-acetyl cysteine. The patient experienced a rapid unexpected improvement in vision and preservation of retinal structure, suggesting that marked improvement in retinal artery occlusions outcomes may be possible as late as 24 hours postocclusion. This is the third reported case of cilioretinal artery occlusion associated with cardiac catheterization.

“…However, preoperative embolisation is not without complications. The most severe complications, like cerebral infarcts and vision loss, have an incidence of less than 2% 5 . Central retinal artery occlusion and subsequent vision loss, as seen in our case, were reported only few times in literature after JNA embolization [7][8][9] .…”

Introduction. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are highly vascular, locally aggressive lesions, that affect male adolescents. The surgery is the treatment of choice, although it shows a strong propensity to bleed during surgical removal. Preoperative embolization enables the surgical approach in a less bloody way and also a complete resection of the tumor. However, this procedure is not without complications. The most severe complication of this technique is a migration of an embolus into the intracranial circulation. Case report. We present a 9-year-old boy who lost vison on his left eye following preoperative embolisation of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas as a result of central retinal artery occlusion. A recent review of the literature reported only three previously documented cases of central retinal artery occlusion occurring after embolization for a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. We want to point out the possibility of this rare but devastating complication and the importance of rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment so that a visual outcome could be better when applying an early medical treatment. Conclusion. Described case of central retinal artery occlusion is a rare and unusual, iatrogenic vascular event, that could arise as a complication from embolisation of nasopharingeal tumors. However, physicians (ophthalmologists and ear-nose-throat surgeons) should be aware od this devastating complication, and the close evaluation of angiograms for detection of any vascular abnormality before and during the embolization is crucial.

“…In general, 15% of adults have a cilioretinal artery that feeds the macular region, and occlusions of the cilioretinal artery have been reported to be associated with systemic and ocular disorders, including central retinal artery or vein occlusions, collagen diseases, carotid artery dissection, and coronary catheterization [2,3]. These occlusions can easily lead to severe visual dysfunction.…”

Cilioretinal artery occlusion during coronary catheterization

Abstract: ABSTRACT.Purpose: To report on a patient with cilioretinal artery occlusion during cardiac catheterization. Methods: A 51-year-old man complained of blurred vision in the left eye immediately following cardiac catheterization. Visual acuity was 6/12 and the eye had a dense central scotoma.
