Etiology of Retinal Artery Occlusions in Adolescence.
Pak J Ophthalmol Jan ;17(2):51-3.

We reviewed the records of 53 consecutive patients with various types of retinal artery occlusion examined between December 1993 and May 2000. Four of 53 cases (7.5%) were In adolescence period. While two of those had cardiac abnormalities, one had neurofibromatosis type I and one had systemic non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma. In two patients, the systemic disorder was diagnosed during systemic screening after the detection of retinal artery occlusion. A thorough systemic evaluation is mandatory In adolescent patients with any type of retinal artery occlusion.
