Combined central retinal artery and vein occlusion in a child with systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

A O Saatci et al. Int Ophthalmol. 1998.

Abstract

Purpose: To report on a case of systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and unilateral combined central retinal artery and vein occlusion.

Method: We examined a 14-year-old boy who experienced a sudden unilateral visual loss five months after the initial diagnosis of systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Result: Visual loss was due to combined central retinal artery and vein occlusion in association with tumoral optic nerve involvement.

Conclusion: Although very rare systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may present with central retinal artery and vein occlusion prior to overt central nervous system involvement.
