Bilateral simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion in hyperviscosity retinopathy treated with systemic immunosuppressive therapy only.

Purpose

To describe the clinical presentation and imaging features of a patient presenting with bilateral central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), who was subsequently diagnosed with hyperviscosity retinopathy due to B cell lymphoproliferative disease, and had a good response to systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
