Abstract:
We present 2 clinical cases of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in young patients with no cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) or medical history of interest. An extensive etiological study with analytical and imaging tests was performed without finding relevant alterations. Finally, in the first case, the intake of 1 postcoital contraceptive pill was considered the triggering cause while, in the second case, the etiology was attributed to a previous infection by the SARS-Cov-2 virus. On both cases, antiplatelet treatment was initiated. In both patients the evolution was favorable, with good visual recovery.
