title: Idiopathic bilateral branch-artery occlusion in a young woman.
abstract: An unusual case of a 17-year-old woman with bilateral branch-artery occlusion is presented. A thorough clinical and laboratory investigation showed no evidence of any abnormality, which was also not found during a follow-up period of three years. The obstruction occurred in both eyes within a period of ten months. The differential diagnosis of branch-artery occlusion in the young is discussed.
