Abstract:
Hemicentral retinal vein occlusion in a young adult man occurred after a high corticosteroid-induced increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), supporting the accepted association between raised IOP and retinal vein occlusion. However, detection of a plasminogen activator deficiency in this patient indicated a particular susceptibility to intravascular clotting episodes.
