Abstract:
The authors report a sudden painless blindness in a 42-year-old male with membranous nephropathy of idiopathic origin. He was admitted with a history of decreased urine output and painful abdomen of a 3-day duration in the Department of Nephrology, Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir - a tertiary care centre in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. On evaluation, he was found to have renal vein thrombosis. On day 3 of admission, he suddenly developed progressive painless blindness. Indirect ophthalmoscopic examination showed retinal vein thrombosis. Patient's clinical condition deteriorated due to his underlying condition and he succumbed to his illness. Renal vein thrombosis as a complication of nephrotic syndrome is well known. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of retinal vein thrombosis in the course of nephrotic syndrome.
