stenosis",
abstract="The aim of the study was to show ocular manifestations in carotid artery occlusive disease, with pathogenesis, diagnostic   and therapeutic abilities of this changes. Carotid arteries are the main route by which the blood is supplied to the cerebrum   and eyes. Clinical significant carotid artery stenosis is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. Most frequent neurological symptoms   are transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and temporary visual loss (amaurosos fugax) are most common ocular symptoms. Other   ocular pathologies in fundus examination are retinal embolies, retinal vein occlusion, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, ocular   ischemic syndrome or glaucoma. Most dangerous complications are stroke, blindness, or even patients death. Besides clinical   examination the diagnosis is usually confirmed by carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography and   retinal fluorescein angiography. It is important to refer a patient with suspected or confirmed significant carotid artery stenosis   for appropriate evaluation and treatment to a endovascular surgeon.",
