Abstract

Celiac disease (CD) is a digestive disorder caused by an abnormal immune reaction to gluten, leading to severe malabsorption syndrome. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) was reported in a couple of cases worldwide in patients with this disease entity. Herein, we are reporting a rare case of combined central retinal vein and artery occlusion in a young female celiac disease patient presented with a counting finger vision at six feet and improved to 20/60 vision after conservative management.

Keywords: central retinal artery occlusion; central retinal vein occlusion (crvo); combined central retinal artery and vein occlosion; s: celiac; s: celiac disease.
