Retinal artery embolism that had arisen as a complication of a left atrial myxoma was diagnosed in a young man who had suddenly developed a visual disorder in his left eye. A tumor in the left atrium was surgically excised. Pathologically, retinal embolism secondary to atrial myxoma is rare. To our knowledge, only 15 cases have been documented so far. The present case was only the second case of an isolated retinal embolism that had developed without systemic involvement, and the first case of retinal artery branch embolism that had resulted from a left atrial myxoma.
一名年轻男性突然出现左眼视力障碍，被诊断为视网膜动脉栓塞，这是左心房黏液瘤的并发症。左心房的肿瘤通过手术切除。病理上，继发于心房黏液瘤的视网膜栓塞很罕见。据我们所知，迄今为止仅有15例记录在案。本病例是第二例孤立性视网膜栓塞且无全身受累的病例，也是第一例由左心房黏液瘤导致的视网膜动脉分支栓塞病例。
