title: Retinal vein occlusion during flare of multicentric Castleman's disease.
abstract: We report a case of successive bilateral retinal vein occlusion in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive male with multicentric Castleman's disease treated successfully with a single injection of intravitreal bevacizumab. Castleman's disease should be a differential diagnosis of occlusive retinovascular disease and, occasionally, ocular manifestation can lead to systemic diagnosis.
