Case Reports
[Cilioretinal artery occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion complicating hyperhomocysteinemia: a case report].
Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to be a risk factor in both retinal artery and retinal vein occlusions. We report the case of a young patient with combined occlusion of the cilioretinal artery and the central retinal vein due to hyperhomocysteinemia. ⋯ Several cases of occlusion of the central retinal vein or one of its branches have been published. Combined occlusion of the central retinal vein and cilioretinal artery secondary to hyperhomocysteinemia does not appear to have been published, which would make our case unique.
