Abstract
Purpose: To describe a case of myelodysplastic syndrom associated with bilateral retinal vein occlusion. Observations: A man in his 50s presented flashes and progressive drop of vision in both eyes with and feeling tired. He had no history of ophtalmic pathology. His medical history was negative for diabetes and hypertension. His initial best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 OD and 20/25 OS. Anterior segment examination was normal. In fundus examination he had bilateral peripapillary flame-shaped and intraretinal hemorrhages in both eyes with macular hemorrage in the right eye. There was no vessel tortuosity. Fluorescein angiography of both eyes showed a good venous filling, no leakage, and no neovascularization.
