Abstract

Introduction: Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder that is most often seen in older adults and individuals with vascular risk factors.

Case presentation: We report a case of CRVO with cystoid macular edema (CME) in a young, otherwise healthy patient taking minoxidil for hair loss. The patient had no known vascular risk factors, and a comprehensive coagulability workup was negative. The CRVO with CME resolved without intervention upon cessation of minoxidil.

Conclusion: Possible mechanisms for minoxidil-associated retinal vascular disorders are explored. Thorough medication histories and the consideration of possible adverse drug events in patients without traditional risk factors are recommended.

从脱发到失明：一名年轻女性的米诺地尔相关性视网膜病变。

导言：视网膜中央静脉闭塞（CRVO）是一种常见的视网膜血管疾病，多见于老年人和有血管风险因素的人：我们报告了一例视网膜中央静脉阻塞伴囊样黄斑水肿（CME）的病例，患者年轻，身体健康，因脱发服用米诺地尔。该患者没有已知的血管危险因素，全面的凝血功能检查也呈阴性。停用米诺地尔后，伴有CME的CRVO未经干预就得到了缓解：结论：探讨了米诺地尔引起视网膜血管病变的可能机制。结论：本文探讨了米诺地尔引起视网膜血管病变的可能机制，建议对无传统风险因素的患者进行全面的用药记录，并考虑可能发生的药物不良事件。
