Síndrome de isquemia ocular: manifestaciones clínicas, diagnóstico y evolución tras el tratamiento

Abstract

Ocular ischemia syndrome is caused by ocular chronic hypoperfusion due to stenosis or occlusion of the ipsilateral common or internal carotid artery. We present the case of a 58-year-old male with recurrent unilateral amaurosis fugax, ophthalmological examination compatible with chronic ocular ischemia, and severe stenosis of ipsilateral internal carotid artery. After angioplasty and stenting of the carotid stenosis, the findings resolved.
