| Description |
Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion (BRAO) presents as acute painless loss in a distribution concordant with visual field of the occluded artery. BRAO most frequently occurs secondary to emboli, which are most commonly cholesterol emboli from proximal aortic or carotid disease. Other identified sources of emboli are platelet-fibrin and calcific, which most commonly occur as a result of valvular heart disease or peri-procedurally. (1,2) Calcific emboli tend to lodge in the first or second order arteries and may overlap the optic disc, making its detection difficult due to similarities in background color. |
