| Abstract |
A case of venous stasis retinopathy in a 58-year-old male is reported. Despite carotid endarterectomy for ipsilateral internal carotid atheromatous disease, the retinopathy persisted until the embolic obstruction of the central retinal artery resolved spontaneously. Then the venous stasis retinopathy was relieved. In patients with venous stasis retinopathy and reduced arterial pressure that cannot be attributed to carotid disease, an occult but hemodynamically significant arterial obstruction posterior to or at the lamina cribrosa may be suggested. |
