Abstract

APAS, an autoimmune disease, is associated with features of increased hypercoagulability such as thrombosis, recurrent spontaneous abortions, thrombocytopenia, neurologic symptoms, and positive antiphospholipid antibodies. Ocular manifestations of APAS are episcleritis or scleritis, rubeosis, retinal artery or vein occlusion, optic neuropathy, retinal vasculitis, cilioretinal artery occlusion, choroidal infarction, vitreous hemorrhage, amaurosis fugax, and ocular motility defects. We present a case of repetitous central retinal vein occlusion related with APAS.
