A CASE OF BILATERAL OCULAR ISCHEMIC SYNDROME IN TAKAYASU ARTERITIS

Ocular ischemic syndrome is an uncommon vision threatening condition with variable clinical presentation, caused by ocular hypoperfusion due to stenosis or occlusion of the common or internal carotid arteries. It is usually unilateral in 80 percent of cases and affects both anterior and posterior segments. We report a case of bilateral ocular ischemic syndrome secondary to Takayasu arteritis ,which initially presented as a unilateral disease and showed bilateral involvement sequentially.
