[Retinal neovascularization in a traumatic microhyphema].
نویسنده
چکیده
CLINICAL CASE This is a case of retinal ischaemia with subsequent neovascularization, in a 13 year-old boy who sustained a traumatic hyphema after blunt trauma. DISCUSSION Hyphemas can occur after blunt trauma, intraocular surgery, spontaneously and in association with the use of substances that alter platelet or thrombin function (aspirin, ethanol). Associated injuries are traumatic anterior uveitis, iridodialysis, optic atrophy, secondary hemorrhage and a traumatic cataract. This case illustrates the formation of retinal neovascularization in association with a microhyphema and the need for careful and prolonged ophthalmological examination in this clinical context.

Background: Retinal vein occlusions are one of the most common form of retinal vascular disorders and could lead to vision loss due to macular edema, macular ischemia and sequelae from neovascularization. Anti-venous endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment is the choice strategy of treatment for patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). There is an ...
