We report a case of multiple retinal arteriolar occlusions due to delayed embolisation of N-butylcyanoacrylate glue, initially injected in the external carotid artery for the management of Carotid body tumour. Ocular massage and anterior chamber paracentesis were unfruitful and patient suffered irreversible visual loss in the affected eye. Embolisation of N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue into the retinal vasculature after intratumoral injection should be kept in mind as a rare but possible complication by radiologists and ophthalmologists.
我们报告一例因N-丁基氰基丙烯酸酯胶水延迟栓塞导致的多发性视网膜小动脉阻塞病例。该胶水最初注入颈外动脉用于治疗颈动脉体瘤。眼部按摩和前房穿刺均未成功,患者患眼出现不可逆的视力丧失。放射科医生和眼科医生应牢记,瘤内注射后N-丁基氰基丙烯酸酯胶水栓塞至视网膜血管是一种罕见但可能发生的并发症。
