چکیده
|
Post cardiac surgery ophthalmic complications are uncommon, and sudden visual loss isone of the most important ophthalmic problems in these patients. we report a 54-year-old woman thatsuffered transient sudden bilateral visual loss seven days after orthotopic heart transplantation. inophthalmologic examination positive findings were bilateral normal size pupils without direct andindirect pupillary light reflex and bilateral severe diffuse vasospasm of retinal arteries. otherophthalmologic findings were normal. problem lasts for 12 hours and resolved spontaneously.funduscopic examination identified bilateral normal retina at this time and fluorescein angiographyrevealed normal retinal vasculature. this presentation suggests retinal vasospasm as an unusual benigncause of bilateral sudden visual loss after orthotopic heart transplantation.
