Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Branch retinal vein occlusion.

Retinal vein occlusions (RVO) are the second commonest sight threatening vascular disorder. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) are the two basic types of vein occlusion. Branch retinal vein occlusion is three times more common than central retinal vein occlusion and- second only to diabetic retinopathy as the most common retinal vascular cause of visu...

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion followed by Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

A 59-year-old woman with history of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus and systemic hypertension presented with decreased vision in her left eye since 2 months ago. Bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 and 20/400 in the right and left eyes respectively. Relative afferent pupillary defect was negative. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable except for mild posterior subcapsula...

Management of branch retinal vein occlusion.

This article addresses advances in the management of branch retinal vein occlusion - a common retinal vascular disorder in elderly patients which is a significant cause of ocular morbidity. New intravitreal therapies have improved the prognosis for patients, albeit with significant cost implications.

Neurodegeneration in branch retinal vein occlusion

One of the most common forms of visual impairment and reduction in overall visual acuity is branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), second only to diabetic retinopathy (Rogers et al., 2010; Sun et al., 2013). Unlike central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) which is a similar macular disease, BRVO is extremely more prevalent and generally only affects a smaller portion of the retina (Osborne et al., ...
