DESCRIPTION  A retinal artery occlusion (RAO) occurs when the central retinal artery or one of the arteries that branch off of it becomes blocked. This blockage is typically caused by a tiny embolus (clot) in the blood stream. The occlusion decreases the oxygen supply to the area of the retina nourished by the affected artery, causing permanent vision loss. |

There are two main types of retinal artery occlusion, branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Central artery occlusion is an emergency. Patients who experience sudden painless loss of vision should seek medical attention immediately. |
Complications of central retinal artery occlusion include further emboli to brain resulting in a cerebrovascular accident. |
Rarely, patients with branch retinal artery occlusion may develop other complications as a result of BRAO, such as neovascularization of the retina or iris, and neovascular glaucoma. |
The main causes of retinal artery occlusion are the following: |
-
embolism (the sudden obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot)
-
atherosclerotic disease that results in the progressive narrowing of the arteries over time
-
endarteritis (the chronic inflammation of the inner layer of arteries)
-
angiospasm (a spasmodic contraction of a blood vessel with increase in blood pressure)
|
People affected by retinal artery occlusion typically have high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes as an underlying condition. Other conditions that may increase the risk of retinal artery occlusion include high cholesterol and glaucoma. Incidence is slightly more common in men and in people age 60 or older. |
|
| SYNONYMS |
- Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO)
- Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO)
|
SYMPTOMS |
The patient, usually between the ages of 50 and 80, will present with a sudden, painless, unilateral loss of vision and/or visual field. Acuity may be as low as hand motion. The patient often has significant systemic illness such as hypertension and/or diabetes. There will be a relative afferent pupillary defect in the involved eye.
|
Ophthalmoscopically, you'll see a pale, milky, edematous retina with attenuated arterioles and a cherry-red macula if the entire central retinal artery is occluded. If a cilioretinal artery is present, there will be an area of perfusion from the optic disc to the macula. An embolus may be visible in the vasculature on the disc. If a branch retinal artery is involved, an embolus will be visible in the vessel with ischemia and infarct appearing distal to the occlusion. |
