title: Severe ischemic process in a young man with central retinal vein occlusion.
abstract: A 32-year-old man with central retinal vein occlusion followed by severe and rapidly progressing neo-vascular glaucoma is presented. This case was characterized by a severe ischemic process, in which the rubeosis iridis was followed by almost total atrophy of the iris within a short period of time. The onset of the central retinal vein occlusion was associated with mild dehydration and stress polycythemia following strenuous physical activity.
