The Extreme Significance of Bilateral Embolic Retinal Phenomena That Can be Life Saving
Bilateral Retinal Embolic Phenomena Always Necessitates Immediate and Intensive Investigation. Careful, Documented, Ophthalmic Examination is All we Require to Initiate Life Saving Investigations.

Detailed Description
Two patients were found to have signs of simultaneous bilateral retinal emboli. One patient was asymptomatic and routine ophthalmic examination showed bilateral retinal hemorrhages and exudates close to both optic discs. This patient was on anti-coagulant treatment for atrial fibrillation. The finding of bilateral signs of retinal emboli necessitated immediate blood tests and dose adjustments of her medication.
The second case did not have general symptoms other than mild evening chills and her eye examination again was the start point of intensive investigation to find the reason of her bilateral retinal emboli. Ultrasound studies revealed a life threatening reason that was urgently treated.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The extreme significance of immediate investigation of cases of bilateral retinal emboli (non-diabetic bilateral posterior pole retinal nerve fiber or pre-retinal hemorrhages).
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of one year
|
Patients that are noticed to have signs of bilateral retinal emboli (bilateral retinal nerve fiber layer hemorrhages or bilateral pre-retinal hemorrhages and sometimes bilateral soft exudates) may be asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.
However these patients must be immediately and, if needed, intensively investigated to find the source of these emboli.
The extremely important point of this study is these patients usually have life threatening conditions that should be found out and treated in time.
