Question

A male aged 62 has a history of coronary artery disease and poorly controlled hypercholesterolaemia. He presents with painless loss of vision in his right eye. Fundal examination reveals widespread retinal haemorrhages.

Diagnosis?

Answer 1

The diagnosis in this case is not definitive, but the widespread retinal hemorrhages may be a sign of an underlying systemic vascular disorder related to the patient's history of coronary artery disease and poorly controlled hypercholesterolemia. Further examination and testing may be needed to determine the specific cause of the retinal hemorrhages and the loss of vision in the right eye.
