Özet

We retrospectively reviewed the imaging characteristics of five patients with various types of retinal artery occlusions to elucidate the autofluorescent imaging features. In eyes with central retinal arterial occlusion (CRAO) autofluorescent imaging is not as informative as autofluorescent images obtained in eyes with branch retinal arterial occlusion (BRAO) and CRAO with fovea] sparing. The border with ischemic and nonischemic portions of the posterior pole can be visualized with autofluorescent imaging techniques as good as color fundus images in eyes with BRAO and CRAO with foveal sparing. We believe that autofluorescent images might be helpful in eyes with retinal arterial occlusions.
