15.3 Cilioretinal Artery Occlusion Introduction: Cilioretinal artery occlusion (CiRAO) represents the rarest type of retinal vascular disease accounting for less than 10% of retinal arterial occlusions. They can occur isolated, in conjunction with a CRVO, or associated with arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy from giant cell arteritis. When isolated, a collagen vascular disorder may be present. Patients typically report an acute, painless central scotoma or decrease in central visual acuity. When isolated or associated with CRVO, they have a generally good prognosis for at least partial visual recovery. Clinical Features: There is localized retinal whitening due to inner retinal edema corresponding to the distribution of the cilioretinal artery (Fig. 15.3.1), which is only present in 20–30% of individuals. Figure 15.3.1 Only gold members can continue reading.
