Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a young woman with idiopathic branch retinal artery occlusion.

We present a case of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in a healthy 20-year-old woman with no history of ocular or systemic diseases or drug use. She presented with a sudden decrease in visual acuity associated with a visual field defect of the right eye, which she had first noticed 4 hours earlier. Examination showed a BRAO with oedema at the upper part of the macula and surrounding area, and confirmed on fluorescein angiography.
