BACKGROUND: Polycythemia vera is a chronic @entity2214 associated with excessive proliferation of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes, as well as an accompanying @entity381 . Ocular manifestations of @entity6582 vera include occipital cortex transient @entity63 attacks, transient @entity1939 , @entity432 , and @entity5861 . CASE REPORT: A 56-year old @entity1 with @entity4406 sought treatment for a chief symptom of blurred @entity227 and a red tinge to things first noticed on awakening that morning. He had preretinal and intraretinal @entity548 and was subsequently found to be severely anemic as a result of @entity4018 after years of phlebotomy. Splenectomy controlled his @entity417 and @entity882 , allowing transient improvement of the @entity5861 . @entity3052 subsequently developed and the @entity1 died 7 weeks after initial examination. CONCLUSION: In this case, preretinal and intraretinal @entity548 were found in a @entity1 with @entity4406 . The exact origin of these @entity548 is uncertain. They are probably secondary to @entity417 , but the possibility that they are sites of extramedullary hematopoiesis must be considered. The appearance of @entity5861 warrants careful investigation to rule out @entity6 , @entity101 , and @entity417 , as well as the various other @entity1503 .

Retinopathy secondary to @entity417 from @entity4018 in XXXX vera.
