Prognostic Factors for Retinal Vein Occlusion

Influence of diabetes and diabetes type on anatomic and visual outcomes following central rein vein occlusion

“…Older age has been associated with increasing prevalence of CRVO 6,7 as well as more ischemic CRVO in the general population. 32 Potentially, diabetes itself does not increase the risk of developing CRVO. 33 In this study, there was no statistical difference in the mean age of CRVO patients with DM as compared with nondiabetic patients with CRVO.…”

Comparative Evaluation of Radial Optic Neurotomy and Panretinal Photocoagulation in the Management of Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

“…21 According to a study of the activity of carbon anhydrase, which accumulates in and around Muller cells, exchange of metabolites between the vitreous cavity and retina was facilitated, and macular edema was reduced after PPV was performed. 22 Both of these may have been due to a beneficial effect of PPV by which the vitreous cavity fluid acted as a carrier of oxygen from unaffected retinal or ciliary body tissue to the ischemic retina.…”

"Monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial de pacientes com oclusão do ramo da veia central da retina"

“…Hayeh et al, 1994;Glacet-Bernard et al, 1996) demonstraram uma maior freqüência de oclusões venosas de ramo em pacientes mais idosos, principalmente quando comparados a outros tipos de oclusões.…”

“…Study Group",1993;Glacet-Bernard et al , 1996;Mitchell et al 1996;Simons e Brucker, 1997;Hayreh et al,2001;Beaumont e Kang, 2002).…”

“…Johnston et al (1985) definiram como hipertensos aqueles que faziam tratamento anti-hipertensivo ou com apenas uma medida de pressão arterial superior a 140/90 mm Hg no momento do exame. Glacet-Bernard et al (1996) Devemos considerar, também, que a amostra estudada incluía apenas oclusões de ramo venoso temporal, visto que não foram identificados casos de oclusões no setor nasal ou de ramo venoso macular.…”
