Abstract
Purpose: To describe a rare case of unilateral central retinal artery occlusion in the postprocedural period of electrical cardioversion (CV) for atrial fibrillation.
Methods: History and ophthalmic examination.
Results: A 79-year-old female underwent electrical cardioversion. This resulted in the restoration of sinus rhythm. Ten days after the cardioversion, the patient experienced sudden vision loss in her right eye. She was diagnosed with a right occipital infarct. and a right central retinal artery occlusion.
Conclusion: Central retinal artery occlusion is a rare complication of cardioversion that can lead to severe visual loss in the affected eye.
