Figure 2. Acute central retinal artery occlusion in the right eye.

Figure 2

A) Funduscopic photographs showing an acute central retinal artery occlusion in the right eye (OD, shown on the left). Note the attenuated central retinal artery with segmental arterial narrowing in the right eye (arrow heads) compared with the left eye (OS, shown on the right). The ischemic retina is edematous and appears whitish compared to the left eye and there is a cherry red spot (*).

B) Fluorescein angiography of the right eye (OD) at 37seconds after injection of fluorescein dye in an arm vein (shown on the left), and at more than 1 minute (shown on the right). There is delayed retinal arterial filling (arrow heads). Venous filling (arrows) is also delayed at more than 1minute.
