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...

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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Factor XIII (FXIII) Val34Leu, a common polymorphism in the gene for factor XIII, has been associated with a lower risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, and deep vein thrombosis. Ineffective fibrin cross-linking has been suggested to be causative. The aim of the present case-control study was to investigate the role of FXIII Val34Leu polymorphism in patients with retinal ...

Simultaneous branch retinal artery and vein occlusion is a rare condition that may cause severe visual loss, and its treatment is often unrewarding. Herein, we report a case with simultaneous central retinal vein and branch retinal artery occlusion; it was successfully treated with a single dexamethasone intravitreal implant. The affected eye attained a visual acuity level of 20/25 from the vis...
