Abstract:
Visual loss resulting from retinal vascular disorders can be the presenting sign of serious systemic disease. Associations between retinal vein thrombosis and other systemic disorders have been well documented, but a comprehensive literature search failed to reveal any report of essential thrombocythemia as a cause of central retinal vein thrombosis. We describe the first young female patient with symptomatic visual loss due to central retinal vein thrombosis as her presenting symptom of essential thrombocythemia.
