Abstract:
A case of central retinal artery occlusion in a patient with Marfan's syndrome secondary to possible thromboembolism from a prolapsed mitral valve is presented. Clinical investigations and treatment of this condition are discussed. The world literature on retinal occlusive events secondary to mitral valve prolapse is briefly summarised. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of central retinal artery occlusion in a patient with Marfan's syndrome.
