Neurol 39:1462-1464, Newman,N.J.,et al, 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Carotid artery dissection frequently causes transient ipsilateral visual impairment.We present 2 cases of permanent ocular vaso-occlusion sequelae consequent to dissection of the ipsilateral internal carotid,definite in one and probable in the other.In both,the ocular strokes led to the recognition of the underlying carotid vasculopathy.
