چکیده

CLINICAL CASES Five eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) were treated with intravitreal injection of 4 mg of triamcinolone. Four cases showed good visual acuity and macular thickness evolution after one dose. The remaining one case suffered a relapse three months later. Therefore a second injection was performed in that case. DISCUSSION Several treatments have been suggested to manage macular edema in BRVO. Intravitreal triamcinolone may be a therapeutic option to increase visual acuity and decrease macular thickness in patients with macular edema secondary to BRVO.
