# Case Report: Early Detection of Carotid Artery Stenosis with Falck Multifunctional Device (FMD), A Revised Ophthalmodynamometry Method

## TL;DR

A revised ophthalmodynamometry method helped detect early carotid artery stenosis in a patient, enabling timely management and preventing potential strokes.

## Contribution

The study demonstrates the clinical utility of a revised ophthalmodynamometry method for early detection of carotid artery stenosis.

## Key findings

- A 70-year-old female with reduced MCRAP was found to have 50% stenosis in her right internal carotid artery.
- Early detection through the revised method allowed prompt management and potentially prevented ischemic events.

## Abstract

Advanced clinical diagnostic tools enable ophthalmologists to diagnose not only ocular pathologies but also identify disorders that extend beyond ocular diseases. Ophthalmodynamometry (ODM), a screening tool that most ophthalmologists do not commonly use, measured reduced mean central retinal artery pressure (MCRAP) in the clinical setting. We describe a 70-year-old female with a reduced MCRAP in the right eye who identified 50% stenosis in her right internal carotid artery (ICA). Early diagnosis facilitated prompt management and potentially prevented future ischemic events.
