PURPOSE Impending central retinal vein occlusion is associated with mild or no loss of vision; however, its progress and vision prognosis have not been clearly defined until now. Therefore, we studied the progress and prognoses in patients with impending central retinal vein occlusion. METHODS For this study, we selected ten subjects who had been diagnosed with impending central retinal vein ...

Glaucoma may be a contributory factor in the aetiology of retinal vein occlusion or may result from this condition. When glaucoma occurs secondary to retinal vein occlusion, it is usually considered to be due to vascularization of the anterior chamber angle and closure of the angle by goniosynechiae (Duke-Elder and Dobree, I967; Ballantyne and Michaelson, 1970). The two cases of retinal vein oc...

Purpose: To document the development of central retinal vein occlusion secondary to orbital emphysema following nose blowing. Methods: A 55-year-old male developed central retinal vein occlusion secondary to orbital emphysema following nose blowing in the absence of trauma. Results: With conservative management his central retinal vein occlusion resolved over nine weeks period. Conclusion: The ...

The diagnosis and treatment of central retinal vein occlusion was reported in a young patient. Central retinal vein occlusion was probably related to secondary to reactive thrombocytosis after splenectomy. The patient was treated with steroids for papilledema and administered coumadin and aspirin. The symptoms resolved, and the findings returned to normal within three weeks. Current paper empha...

For years, branch retinal vein occlusion is still a controversial disease in many aspects. An increasing amount of data is available regarding classification, pathogenesis, risk factors, natural history, and therapy of branch retinal vein occlusion. Some of the conclusions may even change our impression of branch retinal vein occlusion. It will be beneficial for our doctors to get a deeper unde...

INTRODUCTION Central retinal vein occlusion is one of the major causes of severe vision impairment and blindness in adults. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of unilateral ischemic central retinal vein occlusion in a 54-year-old woman with history of uncontrolled hypertension and open angle glaucoma. Laboratory tests including complete hypercoagulability and thrombotic workup were completed...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane peeling for treatment of macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Nine cases of visual loss due to macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion or branch retinal vein occlusion underwent pars plana vitrectomy with removal of the preretinal hyaloid, peeling of the internal limiting me...

BACKGROUND Cilioretinal artery occlusion rarely results in neovascular glaucoma, especially in cases of extensive cilioretinal infarction and combined retinal vascular occlusion. CASE A 62-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension showed a visual acuity of counting fingers, retinal whitening temporal to the optic disc with mild dilation and tortuosity of the retinal veins...

OBJECTIVE To explore the hemodynamic changes and their correlation with clinical presentation during central retinal vein occlusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective, 2-center study. The medical records of 27 patients with central retinal vein occlusion were reviewed. For each patient, the plasma transit in central retinal vessels and in peripapillary choroidal vessels was analyzed using i...

Two illustrative cases of chronic branch retinal vein occlusion are presented with multimodal imaging, including commercially available optical coherence tomography angiography. In these two patients, retinal ischemia and collateral vessels were well imaged without the need to use traditional fluorescein angiography. Optical coherence tomography angiography provides useful information for the d...
