The pathophysiology and causes of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) remain largely unknown. Latent forms of myeloproliferative disorders, which are diagnosed by the presence of in vitro endogenous erythroid colony (EEC) formation, are a well-known cause of intraabdominal vein thrombosis. The suspected diagnosis of a latent myeloproliferative disorder in a patient with RVO, based on the presence of EEC formation, led us to evaluate the association between latent myeloproliferative disorders and RVO.
