| Abstract |
A 60-year-old woman developed embolic occlusion of a branch retinal artery following septic cavernous sinus thrombosis. Two days later it was followed by loss of light perception due to embolic or vasculitic ischemic optic neuropathy. Recurrent emboli from a focus of carotid arteritis in cavernous sinus thrombosis may be responsible for visual loss in such eyes. |
