   Introduction
 
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic disease with renal and extra renal, cystic and non-cystic manifestations. The cystic disease involves kidney, liver, pancreas, seminal vesicles and meninges. Non-cystic manifestations include aneurysms and dolichoectasias (intracranial, thoracic aorta, coronary and other arteries), valvular heart disease, hernias and possibly intestinal diverticula [1]. Hypertension, arterial vasospasm, and extensive remodelling of small renal arteries and arterioles at early stages of cystic disease are also evident [2–5]. Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death in ADPKD. Here, we report eight cases of retinal arterial and/or venous occlusions in patients with ADPKD and propose that these conditions may be part of the generalized vasculopathy . . .
