Abstract

The authors report the case of 27-year old woman who was 6 months pregnant (second pregnancy, first parity) and presented an occlusion of the central retinal vein. The etiological investigation revealed impaired fibrinolysis after venous stasis. The clinical course including evolution and therapy was stressed. The role of pregnancy as a supplementary risk factor by haemorrheological mechanism was suggested.
