Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a well-known modifiable risk factor
for thromboembolism. Retinal vascular occlusion in patients
having hyperhomocysteinemia is a known entity, particularly
in young patients. However, multiple extra macular branch
retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a rare condition, which can be
a presentation of this disease. We present a patient who had
multiple extra macular BRVO; on complete systemic workup, he
was found to have raised homocysteine levels.
