Central retinal artery occlusion after manipulation of the neck by a chiropractor

American Journal of Ophthalmology

Abstract

To document a case of central retinal artery occlusion after chiropractic treatment. An 87-year-old man suffered a central retinal artery occlusion immediately after chiropractic neck manipulation. A magnetic resonance angiogram showed an atherosclerotic plaque in the ipsilateral carotid artery, which probably shed emboli during cervical joint mobilization. The carotid arteries should be approached carefully in patients with known or suspected atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries.
