Dr. Although, a relation between retinal vein occlusion and each of factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A mutations has not been clearly defined, it is known that the risk for ocular venous occlusion in patients with coexisting mutations was increased. It is also reported that acquired or inherited thrombophilia may play a role in the etiology of retinal artery occlusion particularly in young adults. We reported herein the first case in the literature of which a combined central retinal vein and branch retinal artery occlusion in a patient with coexisting factor V and prothrombin 20210A mutations was presented as an occasion for emphasizing the importance of screening for thrombophilia factors in patients with combined retinal vascular occlusions and early administration of the antithrombotic therapy in affected patients for achieving good visual outcomes.
