Concurrent Acute Brain Infarcts in Patients with Monocular Visual Loss
Ann Neurol 72:286-293, Helenius, J.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
This study demonstrates that MVL does not always represent an isolated disease of the retina; approximately 1 of every 4 patients with MVL demonstrates acute brain infarcts on DWI. Because patients with concurrent brain infarcts are more likely to exhibit a cardiac or vascular source of embolism, imaging evidence of brain injury in patients with MVL may be a useful marker to guide the timing and extent of diagnostic examinations.
