Arterial emboli, fragmentation of both the arterial and venous blood columns, and bilateral cherry red spot were seen in the fundus of a patient with progressive onset of visual loss. Initially, the patient, a 56-year-old housewife, was thought to have temporal arteritis. Her clinical condition worsened on steroids which was subsequently discontinued when 5 out of 6 blood cultures were reported positive. Showers of microemboli were responsible for her unusual fundus findings.
在一名视力逐渐丧失的患者眼底可见动脉栓子、动静脉血柱碎裂及双侧樱桃红斑。最初，这位56岁的家庭主妇被认为患有颞动脉炎。使用类固醇治疗后她的临床状况恶化，随后在6次血培养中有5次报告呈阳性时停用了类固醇。微栓子的出现导致了她异常的眼底表现。
