Abstract
-
The authors experienced a case of bilateral superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis diagnosed by transfemoral carotid angiography. Thrombolysis was performed by injecting urokinase directly to the obstruction site during angiography. The patient`s visual acuity recovered from light perception to 0.8 in the right eye, and 0.9 in the left eye.
