(A and B) Bilateral retinography three days after kidney transplantation surgery showing typical findings of central retinal artery occlusion: optic nerve edema with indistinct margins, macular cherry-red spots (arrows), retinal opacity, arterial attenuation, and intraretinal hemorrhages. (C and D) Macular OCT showing whitening and increased thickness of the inner retinal layers and optic disc swelling in both eyes.. OCT, optical coherence tomography

FIG1
Posterior segment examination of OS revealed optic-nerve-head (ONH) pallor and edema with indistinct margins, macular cherry-red spot, retinal opacity, arterial attenuation, and intraretinal hemorrhages along the inferior vascular arcade and throughout the periphery of retinal parenchyma (Figure 1B).  OD was unremarkable. OS macular OCT showed increased thickness of the inner retina and optic disc swelling (Figure 1C). OS remained as mentioned before, and a new evaluation of OD revealed ONH edema with indistinct margins, macular cherry-red spots, and retinal opacity (Figure 1A). OD macular OCT, similar to previous OS OCT, showed increased thickness of the inner retina and optic nerve swelling (Figure 1D).
(A and B) Bilateral retinography at a two-year follow-up revealing arteriolar attenuation (more evident in OS), atrophic parenchyma with scattered hemorrhages, and excavated optic disc in both eyes. (C and D) Macular OCT showing a thinner atrophic retina and almost absence of the internal layers in both eyes.

FIG2
Bilateral OCT demonstrated retinal atrophy and thinning, with almost absent inner retinal layers (Figures 2C-2D).
