    Description
    Color image capturing the left eye of a 32-year-old female. Despite a negative ophthalmological and medical history, she reported three days of blurred vision and a paracentral scotoma in her left eye, while maintaining central vision. The image reveals retinal whitening, extends from the parafoveal region to the inferotemporal arcade indicative of cilioretinal artery occlusion. Following this observation, the patient was referred for systemic assessment to explore the underlying etiology of the occlusion.
