What Researchers Did
Researchers reported a case of a 52-year-old male with an anomalous retinal artery complicated by branch retinal artery occlusion and neovascular glaucoma, detailing his diagnosis, treatment, and visual outcome.
What They Found
A 52-year-old male presented with severely reduced vision in his right eye, initially hand motion at 4 cm, due to an anomalous retinal artery complicated by partial occlusion and macular oedema. Following treatment with vessel dilation, hyperbaric oxygen, ocular massage, and thrombolytics, his visual acuity improved to 20/200, which was maintained at the 1-month follow-up.
