We describe a central retinal artery occlusion in a young man who was subsequently found to have an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma.
Case report with clinical, echocardiographic, and histopathologic observations.
The aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma was successfully treated with tumor resection.
Appropriate investigations in young patients with central retinal artery occlusion should therefore be conducted, including transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, to diagnose and treat this tumor, because failure to diagnose this tumor may result in further embolic events, including stroke and sudden death.
我们描述了一名年轻男性发生的视网膜中央动脉阻塞,该患者随后被发现患有主动脉瓣乳头状纤维弹性瘤。
通过临床、超声心动图和组织病理学观察进行病例报告。
主动脉瓣乳头状纤维弹性瘤通过肿瘤切除术成功治疗。
因此,对于患有视网膜中央动脉阻塞的年轻患者应进行适当的检查,包括经胸和经食管超声心动图,以诊断和治疗该肿瘤,因为未能诊断出该肿瘤可能导致包括中风和猝死在内的进一步栓塞事件。
