PURPOSE
To report the occurrence of central vein occlusion in an Eales disease patient. CASE SUMMARY: A 23-year-old man presented with decreased left eye visual acuity and was diagnosed with bilateral Eales disease after ophthalmic evaluations. The patient received laser photocoagulation and visual acuity in his left eye improved 1 month after treatment. He was followed up regularly for 3 years and had no specific eye problems. Subsequently, the patient visited our clinic because of visual disturbance in his right eye. The patient's visual acuity was 0.6 in his right eye, and 1.0 in his left eye. On right eye fundus examination, there were multiple flame shape hemorrhages and retinal vascular tortuosity was observed. Arteriovenous transit time was extended on fluorescein angiography. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion and underwent an internal medical examination to reveal a possible systemic cause of the central retinal vein occlusion; however, there were no systemic problems. Macular edema was observed on optical coherence tomography and the patient received an intravitreal bevacizumab injection. Six months after treatment, the right eye visual acuity and macular edema improved. CONCLUSIONS: Reports of branched retinal vein occlusion on the peripheral retina are common in Eales disease patients. However, the authors experienced and report a case of central retinal vein occlusion occurring in Eales disease. |
