Abstract
Purpose: To describe a patient with iatrogenically induced central retinal vein occlusions secondary to serum hyperviscosity from intravenous immunoglobulin administration.
Method: Case report.
Results: The patient developed bilateral central retinal vein occlusions in association with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins. The central retinal vein occlusions resolved when the immunoglobulins were withheld and serum hyperviscosity decreased.
Conclusion: Administration of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins can be associated with hyperviscosity syndrome manifested by central retinal vein occlusion.
