Bilateral central retinal vein occlusions in a young patient with a history of eosinophilic pneumonia and thalamic stroke
Conclusion: Central retinal vein occlusion in young patients is a rare condition often presenting as a manifestation of an underlying inflammatory or hematological disorder. Combined anti–vascular endothelial growth factor treatment and pan-retinal photocoagulation may have resolved the associated cystoid macular edema in this case, although continued observation is necessary.

Jak2 mutation-positive polycythemia vera presenting as central retinal artery occlusion
Conclusion: Central retinal artery occlusion, a disease with a frequently devastating visual outcome, is often not an “isolated” ocular occurrence. In the absence of an obvious local trigger, a thorough work-up is always warranted, especially in younger patients, as the ocular pathology oftentimes may herald severe cerebro-cardiovascular events.
