A rare presentation of a common carotid artery occlusion.
Background: A common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) is very rare and the clinical features of CCAO have rarely been described. Since the blood supply of the eye and orbit is derived from the internal carotid artery, a CCAO may present with various ophthalmological symptoms, ranging from incidental findings to complete visual loss but also other neuro-ophthalmological abnormalities.
Case report: A 61-year-old woman presented with acute monocular vision loss and an elevation deficit of the right eye. Fluorescein angiography showed delayed filling of both the retinal and choroidal vasculature, without occlusion/embolisms of the retinal arteries. Vascular imaging showed a right CCAO.
Conclusion: CCAO has a variable presentation. In patients with acute unilateral visual loss a CCAO should be considered, especially when ocular motility deficits are present. Fluorescein angiography examination can aid in the localization and diagnosis of the vascular insult. Urgent referral for a systemic work-up is essential.
