Are there differences between internal carotid artery and aortic arch plaques among patients with retinal artery occlusion and anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy?
RAO patients have a higher median age and seem to have more often arteriosclerotic plaques in the aortic arch and larger plaques in the internal carotid artery than NAION patients, although both diseases show comparable associations with arteriosclerotic risk factors.
Overall, typically developing Spanish-speaking school-age ELL students demonstrated a cognate advantage. There was also considerable within-group variation in performance. Clinical implications are discussed, and directions for future study are provided.
