  • Title: [Migratory embolism of the retinal artery (author's transl)].
    Author: Schnell D.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1982 Apr; 180(4):299-302. PubMed ID: 7087361.
    Abstract:
    The clinical history of a man suffering from recurrent embolisms of the retinal artery is presented, extending over 11 years from the time when the patient was 57. The initial finding was a retinal artery embolism whose course was photographically recorded for an hour, until the emboli disappeared at the periphery. Three days and between three-and-a-half and six-and-a-half years later there were recurrences of the embolism. The patient's visual acuity dropped from 0.5 after the first, photographically recorded embolism, to 0.05-0.1 after the last. The gravity of the event is documented by the visual field losses in the lower half and the pronounced pallor of the disk.
