Abstract

Purpose: To report the case of a young woman with retinal vein occlusion and prothrombin heterozygous mutation, and to review the current evidence on the systematic study in cases of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in young patients.<br />Methods: Eligible articles were identified using a comprehensive literature search of PubMed.<br />Conclusion: RVO risk factors may have different relevance depending on each age group. In the systematic study of cases in young patients, it is recommended to look for "emerging" risk factors, bilateral involvement, or absence of "classic" risk factors.<br /> (Copyright © 2015 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología.
