Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of bilateral central retinal vein occlusion in a young female patient with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Methods: Case report and literature review. Patient: A 33-year-old female with a history of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension initially presented with progressive vision loss in the right eye and subsequently presented with vision loss in the left eye 2 weeks later. Results: Clinical examination revealed central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in the right eye followed by CRVO in the left eye within 2 weeks as confirmed by clinical examination, fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and fundus fluorescein angiography. Conclusion: Central retinal vein occlusion is an ocular finding associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension and can be bilateral.
