Summary

Central retinal artery occlusions (CRAO) are the equivalent of an ischemic stroke at the retinal level. They share the same risk factors and common pathology. The diagnosis of a CRAO is clinically based on the sudden occurrence of a decrease in deep visual acuity with fundamentally signs of reactive ischemia. Small studies have highlighted the value of cerebral MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in CRAO with almost 25% of ischemic strokes found on diffusion sequences and the demonstration of a correlation between anomalies in diffusion sequence and the probability of a pathology with a high risk of recurrence (carotid stenosis or emboligenic cardiopathy). But there are usually few radiological signs that allow a direct positive diagnosis of CRAO, an etiologic diagnosis or a prognosis. This descriptive study will focus on CRAO at the diagnostic and post-treatment phases in the short and medium term, in order to (i) identify imaging etiologic signs of CRAO with specific sequences from a 3 Tesla MRI, (ii) identify positive diagnostic signs of CRAO with the same specific sequences, (iii) correlate these signs with the visual prognosis one month after the CRAO.

Conditions

• Retinal Artery Occlusion
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging
• Diagnosis
• Etiology
• Prognosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Additional MRI sequences	Patients will be hospitalized for suspicion of CRAO. An "optimized" MRI will be performed with specific sequences: 3D T1 MSDE (Motion Sensitized Driven Equilibrium) "dark blood"; 3D Optimized diffusion centered on the optic nerves; 3D PD T1 after injection. A consultation of ophthalmology and a control MRI will be carried out one month after the CRAO. Again, specific sequences will be added: 3D T1 MSDE (Motion Sensitized Driven Equilibrium) "dark blood"; 3D Optimized diffusion centered on the optic nerves; DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging); 3D PD T1 after injection.
