[Bilateral retinal venous thrombosis after 8 years in a young patient with congenital coagulopathy]
Abstract:
The issue discusses the case of a young male patient (35 years old), with bilateral retinal vein thrombosis. The onset of the ocular disease was eight years ago, in the left eye, with decreased visual acuity and complicated with neovascular glaucoma; with an adequate treatment, anatomical and functional evolution was good. A new retinal vein thrombosis, this time in the right eye, make us to concentrate our efforts on the etiology of the disease. Thus, we found a blood hyperviscosity syndrome, caused by a congenital deficiency of protein "S" and resistance at the activated protein "C", which may produce recurrent venous thrombosis.
