Abstract
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a rare complication of scleroderma. Here we report a case of a 30-year-old man who was diagnosed to have scleroderma in the rheumatology and dermatology clinic. During treatment with systemic steroids and immunosuppressive therapy the patient developed a sudden decrease of vision in the right eye and was diagnosed to have right CRVO with macular edema on fundus examination. After three consecutive Intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections for macular edema, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 20/80 to 20/25. All ocular and systemic causes of CRVO other than scleroderma were excluded in our patient by thorough clinical examination and investigations, suggesting that scleroderma was the most possible etiology in his condition.
