This patient has an acute, macula-off retinal detachment with a large cilioretinal artery.
Learning Points:
Cilioretinal arteries arise from the choroidal circulation. This results in cilioretinal sparing with central retinal artery occlusion.
Unfortunately, this vessel offers no visual protection against retinal detachment!
