چکیده مقاله:

A 41-year-old man was referred with a complaint of visual loss in his left eye and his best corrected visual acuity was 20/80. Slit lamp examination showed arborizing conjunctival vessels and dry eye. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed a non-ischemic central retinal vein occlusion. Cardiovascular, rheumatologic, and hematologic work up showed no abnormal findings. An ascertained history of exposure to sulfur mustard during the Iran-Iraq war was documented in his medical history. Four sessions of intravitreal bevacizumab injections were done as needed. After two-year follow-up, visual acuity in his left eye improved to 20/25 and macular edema was resolved without any need for further interventions. We conclude that sulfur mustard gas exposure may be considered as a predisposing factor for central retinal vein occlusion, as was found in our patient (an Iranian war veteran) by excluding all yet known etiologies and predisposing factors.

Retinal Pathology after Central Retinal Vein Occlusion.

OCCLUSION of the central retinal vein causes incomplete haemorrhagic infarction of the inner layers of the retina. Haemorrhagic infarction describes a situation in which the venous backflow of an area of tissue is interrupted. As a result the flow of blood has to stop; ischaemia and resulting increase of vascular permeability lead to retinal oedema and extensive haemorrhages. The central retina...
