Abstract
A 44 year-old Caucasian male with a history of plaque psoriasis currently being treated with ustekinumab presented with sudden loss of vision in his left eye. Fundus examination showed central retinal vein occlusion coexisting with central retinal artery occlusion. Posterior examination revealed mild polycythemia, being the underlying cause unknown.
