- Abstract
A 59-year-old female patient was admitted to our polyclinic with complaints of low vision in her right eye. She has type 2 diabetes mellitus for four years. Her vision acuity was 0.15 in the right eye and 0,9 in the left eye by Snellen chart. Intraocular pressure was 16 mmHg in both eyes. In the fundus examination of right eye, fibrovascular proliferation and intraretinal hemorrhage and in left eye intraretinal hemorrhages were seen. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was performed. FFA result was similar with fundus examination. The patient was hospitalized for cardiovascular surgery because that diabetic retinopathy severity was different between both eyes. In the carotid angiography examination, a stenosis detected in the right internal carotid artery. In this study, we aimed to present a case that has asymetric diabetic retinopathy with carotid artery stenosis.
