Abstract:
The clinical picture of central retinal artery occlusion is well known. Little is known, however, about the clinical picture of occlusion of the posterior cilliary arteries. The effects of such condition have been investigated by Hayre(1972) with the experimental occlusion of the various posterior ciliary arteries individually or together in rhesus monkey. The authors have experienced a case of 21 years old woman with the visual field defects developed by the human posterior ciliary arterial occlusion via a pathologic embolic process. A bridf review of the related literatures is presented.
