ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder that is most often seen in older adults and individuals with vascular risk factors. Case Presentation We report a case of CRVO with cystoid macular edema (CME) in a young, otherwise healthy patient taking minoxidil for hair loss. The patient had no known vascular risk factors, and a comprehensive coagulability workup was negative. The CRVO with CME resolved without intervention upon cessation of minoxidil.Conclusion:
Possible mechanisms for minoxidil-associated retinal vascular disorders are explored. Thorough medication histories and the consideration of possible adverse drug events in patients without traditional risk factors are recommended.
