Abstract
This article describes the case of a possible rare complication of sildenafil citrate use - central retinal vein occlusion. Sildenafil citrate influences on regional and systemic hemodynamics. The role of predisposing factors (arterial hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia) and provoking factors (physical exercise, visiting sauna and a double dose of the potency regulator) is discussed. Combination of provoking factors including use of sildenafil citrate has resulted in acute decrease in regional perfusion pressure with the development of central retinal vein occlusion.
