Purpose:
To report the case of a 48-year-old man with unilateral central retinal vein occlusion.
Methods:
The clinical, hematologic and hypercoagulability evaluations of the patient were thoroughly and specifically carried out.
Results:
The central retinal vein occlusion was of nonischemic type and was associated with polyglobulia, hyperleukocytosis, hypercholesterolemia, multiple dental foci, and pulmonary sequelae of tuberculosis.
Conclusions:
When a patient less than 50 years of age experiences central retinal vein occlusion, other mechanisms, such as the hyperviscosity syndrome or the inflammatory condition (inflammation of the central retinal vein) should be specifically considered and accounted for.

Purpose and Process:
01:19Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.
