Purpose:
To report a combined cilioretinal artery and partial central retinal vein occlusion shortly after delivery in a twin-pregnant woman.
Methods:
A 25-year-old woman presented to our clinic with the complaint of blurred vision in the right eye 1 week after delivery. She underwent detailed ophthalmic and systemic investigations.
Results:
The patient had an uncomplicated twin pregnancy. Ocular examination showed combined cilioretinal artery and partial central retinal vein occlusion in the right eye. Systemic diseases were excluded. Laboratory evaluations revealed increased plasma d-dimer level (1.64 mg/mL). Spontaneous recovery occurred without treatment 1 month after delivery.
Conclusion:
Twin pregnancy may lead to exaggerated hypercoagulability and increased d-dimer level in pregnant women. This situation may be a risk factor for retinochoroidal vascular occlusions.
