Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of coincidental infarction and small vessel disease in retinal artery occlusion

Abstract There are several reports in the literature on the association between non-arteritic retinal artery occlusion (NA-RAO) and acute ischemic stroke. We investigated the burden of small vessel disease (SVD) and cerebral coincident infarction observed on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
