A 67-year-old woman with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) was treated with alprostadil and monitored for gradual reperfusion and visual acuity changes.
Gradual reperfusion occurred following alprostadil treatment, accompanied by improvement in visual acuity.
Single case report limits generalizability; no control or comparator group; mechanism of reperfusion (spontaneous vs. drug-driven) cannot be confirmed.
Alprostadil may be associated with reperfusion and visual recovery in CRAO, but evidence is limited to a single case — clinicians should interpret with caution pending larger studies.
