A 10-year follow-up report of retinal branch vein occlusion in a young patient
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2022, Vol 37, Issue 12
Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Retinal vascular damage after RVO leads to venous occlusion, which further causes retinal ischemia and promotes abnormal retinal neovascularization (RNV). Later complications such as vitreous hemorrhage and neovascular glaucoma occur. Active treatment can stabilize the ocular condition of patients and avoid the occurrence of complications. This paper reports a case of a 23-year-old young female patient with hypertension who developed branch RVO complicated by neovascularization membrane. The lesion area was treated with laser photocoagulation. The RNV was found to be mechanized and atrophied after 10 years of follow-up.
