Abstract

We present a case of Ischemic Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) caused by hypertension secondary to renal failure in IgA nephropathy. A 17 year old male came with chief complaints of sudden painless diminution of vision in RE since 15 days. On examination the Right eye showed multiple superficial retinal haemorrhages in all 4 quadrents with dilated veins and cystoid macular edema suggestive of CRVO and Left eye showed superficial flame shaped haemorrhage suggestive of grade 3 hypertensive changes.
