Traumatic central retinal vein occlusion.
A patient with the clinical picture of thrombosis of the central retinal vein following relatively minor head trauma is discussed. Only 2 reports in the literature have documented a similar event. It is suggested that the condition may have arisen as a result of an abnormality of the central retinal venous outflow system since such an abnormal pattern was discovered on orbital venography.
