Abstract

PURPOSE: To report fundus autofluorescence (FAF) characteristics in ophthalmic artery occlusion. METHODS: A 30-year-old male presented with complaints of sudden diminution of vision in the right eye following nasal polypectomy. The patient was evaluated and follow-up of the patient was done, including Optical coherence tomography (OCT), Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Indo-cyanine green angiography (ICGA) and Fundus autofluorescence (FAF). RESULT: We describe a case of ophthalmic artery occlusion where we noted hyperautofluorescent whitening of the retinal arterioles. CONCLUSION: Hyperautofluorescent arterioles on FAF in retinal arterial occlusion is not yet described and sheds light on the possible pathophysiology of the disease mechanism.
