What Causes Central Retinal Vein Occlusion?

I have recently had a central retinal vein occlusion at the beginning of October. I do not have high BP, high cholesterol or diabetes. My primary sent me for an MRI, MRA and MRV, I did not take the contrast as I was scared. All showed clear except for a probable chronic dural sinus thrombosis involving the left transverse sinus. I was referred to a hematologist/ oncologist who put me on heparin and Coumadin. I am at a good range INR of 2.2 and he has me alternating 5 mg n 2.5 each day alternating. And I have been tested for every inflammatory issue possible and any genetic mutations that would cause me to clot n all was negative. The only possible cause could be I was using extrace vaginal cream 2x a week. My question is why am I feeling a clogged head since this happened, ears popping and neck tension and headache. I am prone to headaches from double herniated neck discs and sinuses but this is every day. Oncologist said I will be re scanned in a few months after being on coumadin

Hello,

Central Retinal Vein Occlusion has no convincing treatment. As you are at risk of developing Neovascular Glaucoma, it is important you check with your Ophthalmologist for your eye pressures.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
