Abstract:
Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare and potentially sight and life-threatening condition. Although broadly classified into septic and aseptic causes, its etiology is widely varied and presents clinically with a range of signs and symptoms, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case series describes three cases of radiologically confirmed SOVT, presenting in close succession at an ophthalmology department in a single center in Trinidad and Tobago. All three cases were managed with a multidisciplinary approach and ultimately demonstrated full clinical resolution.
