ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We report two young patients who developed central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) without any systemic disease, and various thrombophilia tests were performed to determine the etiology. CASESUMMARY:
Two young patients, a 22-year-old female and a 23-year-old male, who had acute vision loss were diagnosed with nonischemic CRVO via fluorescein angiography. They had no other disease and no common risk factors for CRVO. We performed various tests to determine the thrombophilic risk factors and discovered a transient decrease in protein S antigen and protein C antigen in the female and male patients, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
CRVO in young patients without systemic disorders may have different mechanisms in the pathology and thus additional laboratory tests to determine thrombophilic disorders are necessary.
