Description Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) causes acute retinal ischemia, which leads to nonreversible retinal infarction if the retinal vascularization is not restored rapidly. The diagnosis is easily made clinically in a patient presenting with acute visual loss, an ipsilateral relative afferent pupillary defect, retinal edema with attenuation of the retinal arteries and a cherry red spot.
