abstract="PURPOSE: To describe a patient with central retinal artery occlusion following an episode of mechanical strangulation. <br><br>METHODS: A retrospective case report. An 83-year-old man presented with acute vision loss in his right eye after a strangling episode. Multimodal clinical imaging was performed. <br><br>RESULTS: Visual acuity in the affected right eye was no light perception. Examination revealed optic nerve edema and optic nerve pallor and also severe vascular attenuation and a cherry-red spot in the macula. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Mechanical disruption of carotid plaque can lead to occlusion of the central retinal artery, which may portend a dismal visual prognosis.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
