Abstract Background In this case report, we present for the first time central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) as a complication of persistent hyaloid artery (PHA). Case presentation In August 2019, a six-year-old male patient manifested right eye (RE) excessive tearing, conjunctival injection and pain. On examination, RE demonstrated light perception and intraocular pressure of 36 mmHg. The diagnoses of neovascular glaucoma, CRVO and CRAO were established as affirmed with fluorescein angiography (FA). PHA was not reported. Extensive work-up and family history were unremarkable. The child was born on term after uncomplicated twin pregnancy. In December 2019, he was referred to our Centre. Transillumination revealed fully dilated, non-reactive RE pupil, clear lens and tubular remnant of HA containing blood cells in its lumen freely rotating in the anterior vitreous. Conclusions PHA results from failure of apoptosis during gestation. It can easily be observed during the red reflex screening at neonatal wards. We hypothesized that PHA twisting led to torsion of the residual primordial common bulb, branching off to HA and CRA with CRAO occurring first. The consequential CRVO presumably advanced by venous stasis due to decrease in arterial inflow. Liquid vitreous appears as early as 4 years of age enabling PHA to whirl more freely. Thus, in case of PHA, we advocate FA to be performed and if connection with retinal artery is proven, parents should be informed on the possible devastating complications and prompt surgical treatment should be considered.

Abstract Background A central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency due to its strong association with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A timely diagnosis is necessary but difficult in the setting of dense asteroid hyalosis, as typical fundoscopic findings can be obscured. We present a case where multimodal imaging in an eye with an obscured fundus could lead to timely diagnosis and management of CRAO in a patient with acute vision loss. Case presentation A 94-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of exudative macular degeneration presented to the retina clinic with acute vision loss in one eye over the course of an afternoon. The patient had dense asteroid hyalosis, and a direct retinal exam was not possible. Multimodal imaging suggested a CRAO diagnosis. The patient received digital ocular massage directly prior to undergoing fluorescein angiography (FANG), which confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was transported from clinic to the emergency room for an emergency stroke workup, which revealed a spontaneous echo in the left atrial appendage, and the patient was started on antiplatelet therapy. When she presented for follow-up within a week, the patient noted that her vision had improved at the time of digital ocular massage and continued to improve thereafter. Her FANG showed marked reperfusion of the retina, and she subsequently has completely regained her baseline visual acuity. Conclusions Multimodal imaging is useful in evaluating visual loss in patients with acute vision loss. In addition, ocular massage is a simple, low-risk intervention that may have benefit in the treatment of acute CRAO. Patients who present to ophthalmologists with an acute CRAO need an emergency referral for evaluation of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular comorbidities.
