Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to report a patient with Bartonella henselae -associated ocular inflammation that manifested with central retinal vein occlusion and neuroretinitis.
Methods:
A case report including multimodal imaging and indirect fluorescent antibody test results was used.
Results:
This case highlights the importance of clinical examination and maintaining a high diagnostic suspicion for neuroretinitis in a healthy young woman without vascular risk factors.
Conclusion:
Patients with B. henselae -associated ocular inflammation develop retinal vein occlusion. For young patients with central retinal vein occlusion and neuroretinitis who do not have a history of systemic diseases, a detailed medical history should be taken and potential causes should be investigated.
