Cilioretinal artery occlusion may indicate occult left atrial myxoma; single case leaves open need for targeted cardiac imaging.
This case highlights the importance of a complete workup, including echocardiography, in patients presenting with cilioretinal artery occlusion to identify potential cardiac sources of emboli such as atrial myxoma.
