Abstract

Purpose: To present the second case of photopigment bleaching phenomenon in fluorescein angiography (FA) and the first case of this phenomenon due to impending central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Case Report: A 32-year-old healthy female noticed blurred vision in her right eye one day before presentation. Despite the 20/20 visual acuity at presentation, mild increased retinal vascular tortuosity and unilateral photopigment bleaching phenomenon in FA was observed in the right eye. Three weeks later, she developed a complete CRVO with visual acuity reduction to 20/40 that responded well to the intravitreal injection of aflibercept. Conclusion: Impending CRVO can cause unilateral photopigment bleaching phenomenon in FA that may be due to retinal ischemia © 2021 JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMIC AND VISION RESEARCH | PUBLISHED BY KNOWLEDGE E.
