Overview

Retrospective study investigates treatment options and outcomes for retinal artery occlusion, highlighting the need for timely interventions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics and management of patients with acute retinal artery occlusion (RAO).
  • Retrospective review of adult patients diagnosed with acute RAO from 2012 to September 2025 at a stroke center.
  • Included patients eligible for intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 hours or intra-arterial thrombolysis within 6.5 hours post-symptom onset.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through ophthalmologic examination.
  • 53 patients met inclusion criteria with 35.8% being branch RAO and 64.2% central RAO.
  • 85% of patients presented outside the treatment window, limiting intervention eligibility.
  • Among the 8 treated patients, average treatment time from symptom onset was 3.5 hours.
