  • Title: Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and branch retinal artery occlusion in cavernous sinus thrombosis.
    Author: Gupta A, Jalali S, Bansal RK, Grewal SP.
    Journal: J Clin Neuroophthalmol; 1990 Sep; 10(3):193-6. PubMed ID: 2144537.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman developed embolic occlusion of a branch retinal artery following septic cavernous sinus thrombosis. Two days later it was followed by loss of light perception due to embolic or vasculitic ischemic optic neuropathy. Recurrent emboli from a focus of carotid arteritis in cavernous sinus thrombosis may be responsible for visual loss in such eyes.
