Abstract

Ulcerative colitis(UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease of unknown causes developing local and systemic complications. Various ocular abnormalities arise in patients with UC. But there have been few reported cases of retinal vascular disease in conjunction with UC. We experienced a 32-year-old male UC patient who developed nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion. We think that this complication is most likely due to vasculitis involving the disc.

Key Words: Nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion;Ulcerative colitis
