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.
