Abstract

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a technique used in interventional radiology for the diagnosis of vascular cerebral conditions. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a complication of endovascular procedures that involve atherosclerotic plaque removal with subsequent embolization. The case is presented on a patient who noticed a sudden vision loss during a DSA. Funduscopy showed retinal pallor and a cherry red spot. The angiography showed a structure suggesting the presence of an embolus in the central retinal artery. The patient was diagnosed with a CRAO, and unsuccessfully treated with ocular massage, topical hypotensive drugs, oral acetazolamide, and anterior chamber paracentesis, with a final visual acuity of 0.05. Central retinal artery occlusion is a rare complication, but due to its poor prognosis, it must be considered when performing neuroradiological procedures such as DSA.

Resumen

La angiografía de sustracción digital (ASD), es una técnica empleada en el diagnóstico de alteraciones vasculares cerebrales. La oclusión de arteria central de la retina (OACR) es una complicación descrita tras la realización de técnicas endovasculares que implican la movilización de placas arterioscleróticas produciendo émbolos. Presentamos el caso de un varón que inicia una pérdida de agudeza visual durante la ASD. En la funduscopia presenta palidez y mancha rojo cereza, y la angiografía es compatible con la presencia de un trombo en la salida de la arteria central de la retina. Se diagnostica una OACR que se trata sin éxito mediante masaje ocular, hipotensores tópicos, acetazolamida vía oral y paracentesis de cámara anterior, obteniendo una agudeza visual final inferior a 0,05. La OACR, pese a ser una complicación rara, se debe por su mal pronóstico considerar en la realización de procedimientos neuro-radiológicos como la ASD.
