- Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a retinal stroke and although ophthalmological treatment is controversial, emergency cardiovascular and neurological evaluation is indicated because patients with CRAO are prone to cerebral stroke within the first 7 to 30 days.Emboli are not always present or visible. This case example may assist those involved in diagnosis and management of CRAO patients including general practitioners, internists, emergency physicians, neurologists, cardiologists as well as ophthalmologists.
