New vessel formation in retinal branch vein occlusion.

New vessel formation in retinal branch vein occlusion.

Neovascularization after retinal branch vein occlusion (RBVO) has long been recognized (Foster Moore, 1924; Jensen, 1936) and it has been noted more recently in a number of publications. Krill, Archer, and Newell (I97I) found that three out of 14 patients had new vessel formation after RBVO; Michels and Gass (1974) found seven cases of retinal new vessels in 28 eyes and disc new vessels in two ...

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...

Evaluation of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings in Patients with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Purpose: To analyze the correlation of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings with visual acuity (VA) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 20 eyes of 20 patients with unilateral BRVO involving the macula referred to the ophthalmology clinic of Rassoul Akram Hospital. OCTA imaging was conducted for all patie...
