[Retinal artery occlusions following carotid angiography (author's transl)].
The authors describe a case of retinal artery occlusion; succeeding to a carotid angiography. The ethiology could be a manifestation of an embolic phenomenas. The case is discussed in the light of simular and others reports of ocular complication following this procedure in the literature. Its appears that carotid artery disease was a precipitating factor in the ocular complication. It looks like a complication of injection of the contrast dye in some cases secondary to allergic, toxic or physical phenomenas.
