Ocular Vascular Occlusive Disorders

Abstract

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) has been known as a clinical entity since 1859, when von Graefe [1] first described CRAO due to embolism. After that, Schweigger [2] in 1984 described it on ophthalmoscopy. A voluminous literature has accumulated on its various aspects. It presents with classical clinical findings: a dramatic, marked visual loss in the involved eye, with typical fundus findings.
