Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Due to MTHFR A1298C Mutation
Abstract
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), a rare condition, is an important cause of acute vision loss. It always seen in elderly. CRAO is observed in youngs , if the patient has hypercoagulability. Here we presented a case who developed neurological findings due to CRAO with the mutation of MTHFR A1298C.
Keywords
