Incidence estimates for perioperative vision loss (POVL) after nonocular surgery range from 0.013% for all surgeries up to 0.2% following spine surgery. The most common neuro-ophthalmologic causes of POVL are the ischemic optic neuropathies (ION), either anterior (AION) or posterior (PION). We identified 111 case reports of AION following nonocular surgery in the literature, with most occurring...

Several studies investigating the role of retinal vascular occlusions, on cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) have been reported, but the results are still inconsistent. We therefore sought to evaluate the relationship between retinal vascular occlusions and CVD.We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases through January 31, 2016 for studies evaluating the ef...

PURPOSE To evaluate the co-occurrence of acute ischemic stroke and acute retinal artery occlusion (RAO). DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. METHODS We included 33 consecutive patients with acute RAO who underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging within 7 days of the onset of visual symptoms. The causes of RAO were classified according to the Trial of Org 10172 in A...

Background Permanent vision loss is a feared complication and leading cause of morbidity in Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). Prompt recognition patients with visual manifestation fundamental to reduce permanent occurrence. Objectives The study aims evaluate risk factors for manifestations at disease onset an Italian monocentric cohort Methods We identified 128 GCA diagnosed between 2011 2021 our Cen...

Background The ophthalmic features of giant cell arteritis (GCA) involve a spectrum severity from transient symptoms to bilateral visual loss anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy or less commonly central retinal cilioretinal artery occlusion. Reported ocular involvement varies between 10-70%. 1,2 . At the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital an interdisciplinary fast track service is provided...

Editor, W e report the case of an 80year-old Caucasian male, with medical history of several episodes of transient ischemic attack between January and September 2016. Investigation with carotid ultrasound revealed fibrous atheromatous plaque in both internal carotidarterieswithseverestenosisonthe left. The patient was proposed for left internal carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS)andstartedon...
