Recurrent branch retinal vein occlusion in young age (case report)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present a case of a 34 year old man with recurrent branch retinal vain occlusion (BRVO). He was examined with fluorescein angiography, digital fundus photography, serological and immunological blood tests. In contrast to the common belief that BRVO in young people usually have a beneficial development, we point out an atypical case with prolonged course and tendency of permanent damage of the visual acuity. The precise diagnostics of such cases and their adequate inhospital treatment are the most important prerequisites for the satisfactory final recovery.

Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...
