Abstract

A high incidence of venous thromboembolism has been reported in patients who have had renal transplantation especially within the early postoperative period. Herein, the management of a 31-year-old renal graft recipient with the diagnosis of combined left central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and cilioretinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is presented. Although detailed work-up for inherited as well as acquired thrombophilic disorders was performed in our case, none of the definite prothrombotic and predisposing risk factors for venous thromboembolism was identified. The case under review or the index case had a remarkable visual recovery within 3 weeks after the referral, since anterior chamber paracentesis was immediately scheduled after performing ocular massage in order to achieve acute resolution of venous stasis.
