The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) on macular morphology and functions in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion. Efficacy outcomes of the treatment were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT). Safety outcomes were intraocular pressure and cornea endothelial cell density....

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new, noninvasive technology that enables detailed evaluation of flow in the retinal and choroidal vasculature. The authors believe this to be the first report to describe the optical coherence tomography angiography findings associated with combined central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disease producing vascular thrombus with antiphospholipid antibody without association with autoimmune diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus. Retinal vein occlusion is a rare vascular manifestation in primary APS. We describe 2 cases of primary APS presenting with developing blurred vision. Each had central retinal vein occlusion and high titer of...

RETINAL detachment or the appearance of retinal cysts after the occlusion of large retinal vessels has rarely been described in the literature, although Duke-Elder (1940) mentioned cystic degeneration as invariably following obstruction of the central retinal vein. Norn (1961) described a case of a central retinal cyst which followed a thrombosis of the central retinal vein. Arques (1960) repor...

Uncontrolled hypertension is well- known to give rise to systemic complications involving multiple central organs. Artherosclerosis leads to damage of the retinal vessels wall, contributing to venous stasis, thrombosis and finally, occlusion. Retinal vein occlusions compromise vision through development of ischaemic maculopathy, macular oedema, and rubeotic glaucoma. Laser photocoagulation rema...

conclusion the open-cell stent is effective and its performance is higher than that obtained with the closed-cell stent for treating central vein stenosis or occlusion in hemodialysis patients. results for the open-cell stent group, 159 patients were diagnosed as central vein stenosis and 98 were occlusion. for the closed-cell stent group, 78 were stenosis and 66 were occlusion. there were two ...

A 23-year-old black women with acute blurred vision of the right eye was referred for ophthalmological examination. Fundus examination and fluorescence angiography showed a non-ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion (papillophlebitis). The diagnosis of sarcoidosis, suggested by the presence of bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, was confirmed by transbronchial biopsy of the lymph...

OBJECTIVE To confirm the relationship between resistance to activated protein C (APC), factor V Leiden, and central retinal vein occlusion in young adults as reported in a recent study of patients younger than 50 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients younger than 50 years with central retinal vein occlusion were identified from the medical records of the Wills Eye Hospital Retina and Retina Va...
