Abstract
Purpose: To report a patient with combined, unilateral BRAO and CRVO that appeared after taking oral etoricoxib and diclofenac for 2 weeks for the first gouty attack. Methods: Observational case report Patient: A 34-year-old Chinese man Results: The BRAO resolved angiographically one day after high dose oral steroids were given. The best corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/20 with complete resolution of retinal hemorrhages two months later Conclusion: Simultaneous central retinal vein occlusion and branch retinal artery occlusion may be associated with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and gout.
