Central retinal vein occlusion in a middle-aged adult with HIV infection
1Department of Veterans Affairs, West Side VA, Chicago, Illinois.
Abstract:
Recently central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) has been described as a possible AIDS-related phenomenon. We have seen another case of CRVO in a middle-aged male with HIV infection. Extensive laboratory testing failed to reveal any other systemic abnormality which might be contributory. The potential role of HIV infection in the pathogenesis of CRVO is discussed.
