Bilateral central retinal vein occlusions in a Chinese patient with HIV-infection

F Wen et al. Int Ophthalmol. 2001.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral nonischemic central retinal vein occlusions as the initial presentation in a Chinese patient with HIV-infection.

Methods: Complete ophthalmological examination and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed in the eyes of this patient.

Results: Ophthalmic examination and fundus fluorescein angiography revealed bilateral nonischemic central retinal vein occlusions and optic disc edema in a 22-year-old man who was HIV-positive. The findings of fundus examination and fluorescein angiography were similar in both eyes.

Conclusion: This case provides additional evidence that central retinal vein occlusion is probably part of the spectrum of HIV retinopathy.
