Abstract
Central retinal artery or vein occlusion in a young patient must suggest the diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. The bilateralism of vascular occlusion is considered a severe factor because of its consequence on functional ocular and vital prognosis, where it can sound the alarm to the extension of thrombotic events to other vessels in the body. Antiphospholipid syndrome must be studied in cases of severe retinal vascular occlusion in young patients. Its diagnosis is important because the risk of recurrent thrombotic events may endanger functional and vital prognosis.
