Introduction: Central retinal artery occlusion is a pathology of the elderly, rarely in childhood, requiring an exhaustive etiological assessment in order to indicate a treatment to preserve the functional prognosis of the eye. Observation: We report the case of a central retinal artery occlusion in a 4 year old boy, who had no pathological history, discovred at a sudden loss of vision in the right eye aggravated to the blindness. The ophthalmological examination revealed the central retinal artery occlusion. The etiological assessment showed a hypoplasia of the right internal carotid artery associated with agenesis of the ophthalmic artery and the posterior communicating artery. Conclusion: the etiology of the occlusion of the central retinal artery occlusion is very variable, the treatment and the prognosis depend on the etiology.
Author Keywords: Central retinal artery occlusion, internal carotid artery, hypoplasia.

Abstract: (french)
Introduction: l’occlusion de l’artère centrale de la rétine est une pathologie du sujet âgé, rarement chez l’enfant, nécessitant un bilan étiologique exhaustif afin d’indiquer un traitement pour préserver le pronostic fonctionnel de l’œil. Observation: Nous rapportons le cas d’un enfant âgé de 4 ans, sans antécédents pathologiques, qui a présenté une baisse brutale de l’acuité visuelle de l’œil droit aggravé par une cécité unilatérale. L’examen ophtalmologique a mis en évidence l’occlusion de l’artère centrale de la rétine. Le bilan étiologique a objectivé une hypoplasie de la carotide interne droite associée à une agénésie de l’artère ophtalmique et de l’artère communicante postérieure homolatérale. Conclusion: l’étiologie de l’occlusion de l’artère centrale de la rétine est très variable, le traitement et le pronostic dépendent de la pathologie sous-jacente.
Author Keywords: occlusion artère de la rétine, baisse de l’acuité, hypoplasie carotide interne.
