Abstract

We present a rare case of internal carotid artery pseudoocclusion (ICAPO) in a 60-yearold male Caucasian patient who experienced a reversible sudden loss of vision of the right eye for 10 min followed by recurrent blurring of vision as well as dysarthria and numbness in the left face. The referring ophthalmologist admitted the patient for suspicious occlusion of the internal carotid artery causing anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION).
Keywords: pseudoocclusion; internal carotid artery; ischemia; low flow; retinal artery pseudoocclusion; internal carotid artery; ischemia; low flow; retinal artery
