Simultaneous Branch Retinal Artery and Central Retinal Vein Occlusions following Blood Transfusion in a Young Man: A Case Report

This case highlights a rare presentation of concurrent BRAO and CRVO occurring shortly after blood transfusion in a young patient without identifiable systemic risk factors. Although causality cannot be definitively established, the close temporal relationship and exclusion of alternative etiologies suggest transfusion-related rheologic changes as a plausible contributing factor. Clinicians should remain vigilant for acute retinal vascular events following transfusion, even in young patients, and prompt ophthalmic evaluation is essential.

Abstract

This case highlights a rare presentation of concurrent BRAO and CRVO occurring shortly after blood transfusion in a young patient without identifiable systemic risk factors. Although causality cannot be definitively established, the close temporal relationship and exclusion of alternative etiologies suggest transfusion-related rheologic changes as a plausible contributing factor. Clinicians should remain vigilant for acute retinal vascular events following transfusion, even in young patients, and prompt ophthalmic evaluation is essential.
