A rare case of non-uniting double retinal circulation was found in a patient with central retinal artery occlusion. This anatomical variant shows two separate retinal arteries that do not merge before branching within the eye.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vascular Anatomy
  • Retinal Imaging

Background:

  • The central retinal artery typically forms a single trunk before supplying the retina.
  • Anatomical variations of the central retinal artery, though rare, can influence retinal blood flow.
  • Understanding these variations is crucial for diagnosing and managing retinal vascular conditions.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old male presented with central retinal artery occlusion.
  • Angiographic findings revealed a unique double central retinal circulation.
  • These two arterial systems did not unite before entering the globe.

Findings:

  • The double retinal arteries maintained separate pathways after entering the eye.
  • Independent branching of the two non-uniting arteries within the retinal vasculature was observed.

  • This represents a rare anatomical variant distinct from previously described double arterial systems that do unite.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a previously undescribed anatomical variant of retinal arterial supply.
    • Such variations may predispose individuals to specific vascular events like central retinal artery occlusion.
    • Further research into the prevalence and clinical significance of non-uniting double retinal circulation is warranted.
