BACKGROUND
Inflammation of the optic nerve associated with central retinal vein occlusion is a well-documented disorder known as papillophlebitis, which occurs in young adults.
OBJECTIVE
To report two cases of serpiginous choroidopathy complicated by retinal vein occlusion in association with papillitis.
METHODS
Two patients with serpiginous choroidopathy were examined during their acute and follow-up periods.
RESULTS
One patient developed a central retinal vein occlusion and the other a branch retinal vein occlusion. In both cases, the occlusion was associated with segmental edema of the optic nerve (papillitis).
CONCLUSIONS
Serpiginous choroidopathy may rarely be complicated by retinal vein occlusion from papillitis.
