Summary

A case of mixed essential cryoglobulinaemia resulting in massive choroidal infarction and irreversible vision loss in a postpartum female is discussed. Cryoglobulinaemia can rarely involve ocular vessels and, in this case, was adjunctive to mild hypertension in causing acute choroidopathy. Although the systemic condition of the patient improved after steroids and immunosuppressive agents, the visual loss was permanent.
