Abstract

We evaluated a unilateral retinal vascular abnormality in a 21-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa. The patient had weight loss, amenorrhea, and anemia. The left eye had a nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion and a visual acuity of 20/200. With treatment, the retinal hemorrhages disappeared and visual acuity in the left eye improved to 20/20. Central retinal vein occlusion may be a rare complication of anorexia nervosa.
