title: [Post-concussion occlusion of the central artery and vein of the retina].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Combined simultaneous occlusion of the central retinal artery and central retinal vein occurs very rarely and has been observed in patients with systemic disorders such as leukaemia.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a young man who suffered a combined retinal vascular occlusion with occlusion of the posterior ciliary arteries following blunt trauma to the face with massive haematoma of the lids. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such a sequence of events has been recorded.
