AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical induction of chorioretinal venous anastomosis in the management of ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS In a comparative clinical trial, 28 patients with ischaemic CRVO were included, of whom 18 who declined surgery were considered as controls. The 10 surgical cases underwent standard vitrectomy with incisions into the ch...

It has been reported that microperimetry is effective for evaluating macular function. The aim of this paper is to report and discuss changes seen in macular sensitivity and macular thickness after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) in two patients with macular edema and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Two eyes from two patients with CRVO (one each with ischemic and...

R etinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common retinal vascular disease that can lead to significant visual loss and blindness. The 15year cumulative incidences of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) are 1.8% and 0.5%, respectively, thus representing a serious public health problem. The main risk factors for RVO include age, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, ...

AIMS To study the effects of intravitreal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in recent onset central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS 15 patients with recent onset CRVO (from 1-21 days' duration, mean 8 days) were given 75-100 microg of tPA intravitreally associate with low dose low molecular weight heparin. CRVO was perfused in nine patients and with mild ischaemia not exceeding 100 di...

An 18-year-old woman complaining of visual disturbance in her left eye was referred to our hospital. The bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the left eye was 0.6. Fundus examination revealed tortuous retinal veins and macular edema with stellate figure. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed that the macular thickness was increased to 539 μm. In addition, hyper-reflective substances were d...

Abstract Background This study evaluated the treatment outcomes of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in a routine clinical practice Nepal. Methods was retrospective analysis observational data patients with RVO who attended retina clinic Tilganga Institute Ophthalmology from 1 November 2017 to 31 October 2018. The main outcome mean change visual acuity (VA) at 12 months start treatment. Other intere...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most prevalent human enzyme deficiency, affecting an estimated 400 million people worldwide. G6PD deficiency increases erythrocyte vulnerability to oxidative stress and may precipitate episodes of hemolysis when individuals are exposed to triggering agents. Although central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) does occur in G6PD-deficient indi...

Inflammation affects the formation and the progression of various vitreoretinal diseases. We performed a comprehensive analysis of inflammatory immune mediators in the vitreous fluids from total of 345 patients with diabetic macular edema (DME, n = 92), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR, n = 147), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO, n = 30), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO, n = 13) ...
