Abstract
A 70-year-old man presented to the emergency department with blood hypotension associated to a sudden paraplegia and thermalgesic analgesia. He had an history of colic and prostatic adenocarcinoma, hypertension and non-dialyzed Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) related to an idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis type 1 discovered 9 years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a diagnosis of Spinal Cord Infarction (SCI). Few months later, he presented a blurred vision due to central Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO), which was improved by Anti-VEGF therapy. This is the first reported case of a concomitance of retinal vascular event and SCI highlights the links between the central nervous system and retinal vascularization despite separate involvement of the two events in the arterial and venous systems. Additionally, CKD worsened the risk of cardiovascular incidents by induced oxidative stress, thrombophilia, chronic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. SCI occurrence indicates severe vascular dysfunction and elevates the risk of additional vascular disorders.
