Background Various pathophysiological mechanisms such as microvascular and @entity409 , small vessel disease, @entity731 , and @entity32 have been held responsible in the etiology of coronary slow flow. It is also thought to be a reflection of a @entity11598 in the coronary arterial tree. Case Report A 44-year-old @entity1 presented with @entity662 causing @entity1295 , together with blurred vision for the last 2 years, which disappeared after resting. He had used @entity228 therapy for @entity3541 1 month ago. Coronary slow flow was detected in @entity5953 major coronary arteries on coronary angiography. TIMI measurements for the left anterior descending artery, circumflex, and right coronary artery were 64, 72, and 55, respectively. In fundus @entity941 angiography, retinal vascularity was normal, the arm-to-retina circulation time was 21.8 s, and the arteriovenous transit time was 4.3 s. In the early arteriovenous phase, choroidal filling was long, with physiological patchy type. @entity3988 90 mg/day and @entity117 100 mg/day were given. His @entity662 and @entity227 disappeared after medical treatment. Conclusions Physicians should be aware that glucocorticoids might cause an increase in the symptoms of coronary slow flow and some circulation problems, which might lead to systematic symptoms.
