PURPOSE To report the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a 35-year-old man with acute inferior branch retinal artery occlusion. METHODS OCT findings in acute branch retinal artery occlusion were evaluated. RESULTS OCT disclosed diffuse thickening of the neurosensory retina in the inferior perifoveolar area. Increased reflectivity was noted in the inner retinal layers rom the sur...

purpose: to assess the effectiveness of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide on macular edema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (brvo). design: a prospective noncomparative interventional case series. patients & methods: fourteen eyes of 14 patients with macular edema associated with brvo were enrolled. in all patients after thorough ophthalmic examination, 4 mg triamci...

Retinal vein occlusion is one of the vascular disorders affecting vision. Branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion are the two basic types of vein occlusion. Branch retinal vein occlusion is three times more common than central retinal vein occlusion and is second only to diabetic retinopathy as the most common retinal vascular cause of visual impairment. The origin of b...

A case of right branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) due to cholesterol-containing embolus following transfemoral cardiac catheterization is reported. It is extremely rare, however, cardiologists should be alert to any thromboembolic complications during and following cardiac catheterization and choose the suitable approach (either upper extremity or transfemoral).

BACKGROUND Ocular vascular occlusions following intraocular procedures are a rare complication. We report a case series of patients with retinal vascular occlusions or anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) after anterior and posterior segment surgery and demonstrate possible risk factors. METHODS Observational case series. RESULTS In ten patients, vascular occlusions were observed withi...

PURPOSE To investigate the ocular neovascularization (ONV) rate in eyes with a branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) or a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and to study factors that may influence the ONV rate secondary to CRAO. METHODS This was a retrospective case series of consecutive patients (286 total eyes: 83 CRAOs and 203 BRAOs) who were diagnosed with a retinal artery occlusio...
