Cat Scratch Disease Presenting with Right Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion and Left Neuroretinitis

The coexistence of BRAO and neuroretinitis in different eyes underscores the variable presentation of CSD. Recognition of infectious etiologies, particularly <i>Bartonella</i>, is paramount in diagnosing ocular vasculopathies. This case emphasizes the importance of considering <i>Bartonella</i> infection in patients with ocular vascular occlusions, especially in the context of recent cat exposure and systemic symptoms suggestive of CSD.

Abstract

The coexistence of BRAO and neuroretinitis in different eyes underscores the variable presentation of CSD. Recognition of infectious etiologies, particularly <i>Bartonella</i>, is paramount in diagnosing ocular vasculopathies. This case emphasizes the importance of considering <i>Bartonella</i> infection in patients with ocular vascular occlusions, especially in the context of recent cat exposure and systemic symptoms suggestive of CSD.
