Background: Central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion are rare but serious ocular conditions that can lead to significant visual impairment. While few cases of central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion have been individually reported, concurrent occlusion of both vessels is extremely rare, particularly in younger patients without traditional vascular risk factors. We present the first reported case of simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion and cilioretinal artery occlusion in a young female patient associated with short-term use of progestin-only oral contraceptives (OCPs).

Article Synopsis
  • PAH can cause serious ocular conditions like CRVO and CilRAO due to high blood pressure in the lungs affecting blood flow to the eyes.
  • A 13-year-old girl with a history of heart surgery experienced sudden vision loss, with tests revealing both CRVO and CilRAO, along with signs of severe PAH.
  • Treatment with Bosentan and traditional Chinese medicine led to significant vision improvement, highlighting the importance of addressing cardiovascular issues to prevent eye complications and the need for a comprehensive approach in such complex cases.

We present 2 clinical cases of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) or medical history of interest. An extensive etiological study with analytical and imaging tests was performed without finding relevant alterations. Finally, in the first case, the intake of 1 postcoital contraceptive pill was considered the triggering cause while, in the second case, the etiology was attributed to a previous infection by the SARS-Cov-2 virus.

Cystoid macular edema as a complication of central retinal artery occlusion.

Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

Retinal Disorders and Ophthalmic Genetics Division, Stein Eye Institute, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Purpose: To describe the development of cystoid macular edema (CME) as a complication of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 2 cases.

Observations: The first patient was a 51-year-old female who presented with acute loss of vision in the left eye. Multimodal retinal imaging revealed a CRAO with a perfused cilioretinal artery.

Background: The purpose of this study is to describe a patient who experienced simultaneous central retinal vein and cilioretinal artery occlusions, as well as perifoveal hemorrhage in the Henle fiber.

Case Presentation: A 67-year-old Iranian woman presented with a 3-day history of reduced vision in her left eye. Venous tortuosity and retinal hemorrhage were observed in the retina, together with whitened regions around the fovea, consistent with the diagnosis of central retinal vein occlusion in conjunction with cilioretinal artery occlusion.
