To report a case of branch retinal artery occlusion after thyroid artery interventional embolization.
A 33-year-old man with hyperthyroidism complained of visual loss and scotoma in the left eye after thyroid artery interventional embolization. He underwent a full ophthalmologic examination, including fluorescein angiography.
Visual acuity was 20/25, with inferior and superior scotomas present in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography of the left eye revealed delayed filling of a superotemporal branch retinal artery and nonfilling of an inferotemporal branch retinal artery.
A small, but definite risk of retinal artery occlusion after thyroid artery interventional embolization should be considered.
报告1例甲状腺动脉介入栓塞术后发生视网膜分支动脉阻塞的病例。
1例33岁甲状腺功能亢进症男性患者,在甲状腺动脉介入栓塞术后出现左眼视力丧失和暗点。他接受了全面的眼科检查,包括荧光素血管造影。
视力为20/25,左眼存在下方和上方暗点。左眼荧光素血管造影显示颞上视网膜分支动脉充盈延迟,颞下视网膜分支动脉未充盈。
应考虑甲状腺动脉介入栓塞术后存在小但明确的视网膜动脉阻塞风险。
