Abstract
- Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency and has poor visual prognosis. It is commonly found in elderly people and very rare in child. We reported an 8-year-old girl who suffered from acute sinusitis, periorbital swelling, and the visual acuity of her right eye was only light perception. She was diagnosed with CRAO, SPOA (subperiosteal orbital abscess), and acute sinusitis. Emergency treatments including surgery, antibiotics, glucocorticoids, intraocular-pressure-lowering drugs, and vasodilators were taken immediately in order to save the eyesight. The visual acuity of the right eye returned to 20/400. Conclusions: Severe intraorbital complications of acute sinusitis can lead to CRAO. Timely drainage, strong antibiotics, and glucocorticoids are the most effective methods for the treatments.
