Twenty-two patients with a recently developed C.R.V.O. (central retinal vein occlusion) (symptoms: less than four weeks) are discussed. A delay in A.R.C.T. (arm to retina circulation time) in the affected eye was found in two patients with an ischaemic type of C.R.V.O. and in 3 patients with a non-ischaemic type of C.R.V.O. No side difference could be demonstrated in A.I.C.T. (arm to iris circulation time). Leakage of radial iris vessels on fluorescein angiography was found in 6 out of 7 patients with an ischaemic type of C.R.V.O. and in 2 out of 15 patients with a non-ischaemic type of C.R.V.O. Radial iris vessel leakage may be a helpful prognostic sign in C.R.V.O.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
