[Central retinal vein occlusion in a factor V leiden and G21210A prothrombin variant carrier].
METHODS
A fifty-five year old man complained of diminished visual acuity in his right eye and reported a deep venous thrombosis in his right leg five years ago. Examination showed a central retinal vein occlusion in the right eye. Mutations in the factor V gene and prothrombin gene were found in a thrombophilia study. The patient was anticoagulated and no laser photocoagulation was required.


CONCLUSIONS
Various coagulation disorders induced by genetic mutations are often associated with an increased risk for retinal vein occlusion although there are no statistically significant associations reported in the literature.
