title: Systematic study of retinal vein occlusion in young patients. Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the case of a young woman with retinal vein occlusion and prothrombin heterozygous mutation, and to review the current evidence on the systematic study in cases of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in young patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eligible articles were identified using a comprehensive literature search of PubMed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  RVO risk factors may have different relevance depending on each age group. In the systematic study of cases in young patients, it is recommended to look for "emerging" risk factors, bilateral involvement, or absence of "classic" risk factors.
