2 Fig. 1 Hollenhorst plaque (arrow) that persisted for 7 years and resulted in the development of a tortuous collateral vessel. The patient initially had a transient visual field defect attributable to this plaque but manifested no other cerebrovascular symptoms at any time.

3 Fig. 2 Carotid arteriogram obtained because of the incidental discovery of an asymptomatic Hollenhorst plaque. Minimal atherosclerotic lesions (arrows), which represent potential sources of cholesterol emboli, are present in the internal carotid artery at both its origin and in the region of the siphon. This patient underwent an uneventful carotid endarterectomy, but developed a new asymptomatic Hollenhorst plaque in the same eye 29 months later.
