Heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation manifesting with combined central retinal vein occlusion, cilioretinal artery occlusion, branch retinal artery occlusion, and anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy: a case report.

Our case shows that the heterozygous FVL mutation may manifest with combined retinal vascular occlusion involving multiple sites in both eyes. Early recognition of such an inherited thrombophilic disorder is important because it implies the need for long-term anticoagulative therapy to reduce the patient's risk of recurrent, sight-threatening and life-threatening thrombotic events.
