Systemic abnormalities associated with retinal vein occlusion in young patients

Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injections for Macular Edema Associated With Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in Patients Age 40 Years or Younger

“…14 A recent study showed that the prevalence of systemic hypertension and diabetes was 25.7% and 11.4%, respectively, in CRVO adults aged 50 years or younger in a retrospective chart review. 15 In our study, 29.4% patients had systemic hypertension, whereas none had diabetes. However, only patients with macular edema and VA from 20/400 to 20/40 were included, and patients with underlying diabetic macular edema were excluded in our series.…”

Case Report: Branch retinal vein occlusion following COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection while taking oral contraceptives

“…8 Sinawat et al analyzed patients with RVO aged <50 years and reported that 3 of 70 patients with central RVO had taken oral contraceptives for 5-6 years and 1 of 30 patients with BRVO had taken oral contraceptives for 10 years. 10 As persons aged mid-60s are the most susceptible to RVO, our case is extremely rare. According to a 2013 survey regarding VTE, the risk of VTE in women receiving oral contraceptives is twice as high as that in women not receiving oral contraceptives.…”

Case series of retinal vein occlusions showing early recovery using oral l -methylfolate

“…Autoimmune states, diabetes, endothelin-1 secretion, hypercholesterolemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, HTN, inflammation, smoking, and VEGF secretion may all independently and collectively contribute to atherosclerosis and microvascular damage. 42,[49][50][51][52][53][54] The long-ranging Beaver Dam Eye Study confirms that diabetes, glaucoma, and migraine are associated with microvascular disease, including RVO. 55 Many studies have shown that diabetes is associated with microvascular disease and RVO.…”
