Papillary venous loop in adolescence: A rare cause of branch retinal vein occlusion

T
his case report aims to report a rare etiology of branch retinal vein occlusion in adolescence. Herein we would like to
present a rare case of young patient with BRVO due to papillary venous loop, and summarize the highlight points from
review of the literature. To the best of knowledge, our case is the first one that report the papillary venous loop could cause
branch retinal vein occlusion. A 22 year-old college boy without systemic diseases presented to our clinic with complaints
of seeing light spots over right lower half of the visual field for five days. Ophthalmic examination revealed a flame-shaped
hemorrhage over temporal upper retina in the right eye (OD), other ophthalmic examinations were non-remarkable. Vital
signs were checked with a stable blood pressure and heart rate within normal limits. Laboratory studies showed a normal range
of complete blood count, random-glucose, lipid profiles, coagulation profiles, autoimmune indicators and inflammatory index.
The fluorescein angiography revealed a delayed return of temporal upper venous circulation with an underlying ischemic
zone at 22 seconds, and a small venous loop was visible and continuously enhanced since 42 seconds OD. A final diagnosis of
papillary venous loop results in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) OD was made. Branch retinal vein occlusion is a rare
ophthalmic disease in young patients. In this population, a different differential diagnosis would be listed compared with the
elderly. Papillary venous loop is one of the rare causes of branch retinal vein occlusion in youth, which should be bear in mind
during clinical approaching.
