Abstract

A cilioretinal artery occlusion associated with a central retinal vein occlusion is a rare condition and has been reported to have a good visual prognosis. We report a young patient with this condition who also demonstrated prolonged filling of the branch retinal arteries with fluorescein angiography. Her initial visual acuity was 0.03 in the affected eye. Two months later, normal central retinal artery inflow resumed. Her visual acuity has improved to 0.5 over the three years' follow-up.
