| Summary: |
Patients with central
retinal artery occlusion usually suffer from serious
systemic diseases that could be potentially threatening
life. Retinal emboli are associated with the presence of
hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, diabetes
mellitus, hematological disturbances or infections. The
goal of this study is the assessment of the most common
coexisting systemic diseases in patients with the
occlusion of retinal arteries.
We retrospectively studied 51 patients with symptomatic
retinal artery occlusion treated in The Department of
Ophthalmology, Medical University of Lublin from 1990 to
2003. The most common concomitant diseases were
hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and brain stroke.
Eight of 51 patients died. The most frequent reason of
death was cerebral stroke.
Cardiovascular and cerebovascular examinations should be
recommended for patients with retinal emboli. |
