Abstract
The blood flow in the posterior ciliary and retinal vascular circulations was studied by fluorescein angiography in a patient with a central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal infarction. Fluorescein dye appeared in two cilioretinal arteries before the dye appeared in the retinal arterial circulation. This finding supports the concept of a relative hypoperfusion of the cilioretinal arteries secondary to increased retinal venous pressure.
