Supplementary Material for: From hair loss to vision loss: Minoxidil-associated CRVO in a young female

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. 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. Possible mechanisms for minoxidil-associated retinal vascular disorders are explored.
