SALINAS-ALAMAN, A.; GARCIA-LAYANA, A.; HERAS-MULERO, H.  e  GARCIA-GOMEZ, P.J.. Optical coherence tomography in central retinal artery occlusion. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.9, pp.553-556. ISSN 0365-6691.

Clinical cases: Three eyes with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) have been studied. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed in each of them. Ophthalmoscopic signs of CRAO were equivocal in the three eyes. However, the presence of a hyporeflective signal in the OCT scan could be seen clearly in each of them. Discussion: The presence of a hyporeflective band between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium in OCT images, that persist for several months after a CRAO episode, is useful in establishing the diagnosis in these patients.
