Abstract
- Case Report: A healthy 57-year-old woman presented with decreased vision in her right eye. Dilated fundus examination revealed central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). The laboratory test results for hypercoagulability state showed an abnormal protein S. A few months later she developed an ovarian malignancy.<br />Discussion: This case illustrates an association between CRVO and ovarian tumour. Coagulation disorders in cancer may be a mechanism for CRVO.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología. Published by Elsevier Espana. All rights reserved.)
