Simultaneous Central Retinal Vein Occlusion and Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion in a Young Patient with Gout

Alvin KH Kwok, Jason CS Yam, Joshua Ting, Danny SC Ng, Vincent OH Kwok and Yi Chen

Purpose: To report a patient with combined, unilateral BRAO and CRVO that appeared after taking oral etoricoxib and diclofenac for 2 weeks for the first gouty attack.
Methods: Observational case report
Patient: A 34-year-old Chinese man
Results: The BRAO resolved angiographically one day after high dose oral steroids were given. The best corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/20 with complete resolution of retinal hemorrhages two months later
Conclusion: Simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion and branch retinal artery occlusion may be associated with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and gout.
