Dr. The ophthalmologic examination of a 45-year-old patient, who was admitted to hospital with the complaint of unilateral loss of vision, was consistent with frosted branch angiitis accompanying central retinal vein occlusion. In addition to creamy white exudation around vessels, widespread intraretinal and subhyaloid hemorrhage, optic disc edema, venous dilatation, and tortuosity mimicking central retinal vein occlusion were noted. Topical and systemic corticosteroid treatment provided rapid functional and clinical rehabilitation. Keywords : Central retinal vein occlusion, frosted branch angiitis
