| Abstract |
An 82-year-old woman with atherosclerosis developed central retinal artery occlusions (CRAOs) in both eyes within an interval of 5 minutes. There was no evidence of a thromboembolic source, systemic hypotension, vasculitis, migraine, or hypercoagulable state. Virtually simultaneous binocular CRAOs have been rarely reported, and suggest the possibility of a systemic but still undefined "hypercoagulable trigger." |
