See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a pregnant young woman with branch retinal arteriolar occlusions,encephalopathy,and hearing loss in whom we demonstrated a patent foramen ovale.She improved while receiving anticoagulants and no immunosuppressive therapy.The microangiopathic syndrome of retinopathy, encephalopathy,and deafness may be due to a disturbance of coagulation and/or microembolism.
