Key result
Patients with carotid artery occlusive disease may develop a wide variety of characteristic ocular ischaemic symptoms and signs in both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
Case Report (n=4)
Highlights the utility of pulsed Doppler spectral analysis in detecting carotid occlusive disease in patients with chronic ocular ischaemia, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary management.
Ocular ischaemia may signal carotid occlusion; leaves open optimal interdisciplinary screening protocols to prevent stroke.
Patients with carotid artery occlusive disease may develop ocular changes in both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye caused by chronic ischaemia. Four cases are reported with a wide variety of the characteristic ocular ischaemic symptoms and signs. Pulsed Doppler spectral analysis of the precerebral carotid arteries was used to detect the presence of relevant carotid occlusive disease. Diagnosis and therepy require an interdisciplinary approach, to prevent cerebral stroke and to preserve ocular function.

Kerty et al. (1989) conducted a case report in Chronic ocular ischaemia and carotid artery occlusive disease (n=4). Carotid artery occlusive disease was evaluated on Ocular ischaemic symptoms and signs. Patients with carotid artery occlusive disease may develop a wide variety of characteristic ocular ischaemic symptoms and signs in both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
