PURPOSE: To report a case of hemiretinal vein occlusion in a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis. RESULTS: Retinal vein occlusion may occur in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis even in the absence of active inflammation affecting the retinal venules. CONCLUSIONS: Wegener's granulomatosis should be considered in the diagnostic workup of young patients with major retinal vascular occlusion and concurrent history of pulmonary and/or renal disease.
