Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 89
Abstract
BACKGROUND Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a significant cause of visual loss, second to diabetic retinopathy among the retinal vascular disorder and is a disease of the elderly, most commonly occurring between 60 and 70 years of age causing visual morbidity which has got public health significance. The objective of our study is to study the Fluorescein Angiography patterns (FFA) characteristics of macula in Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) at a tertiary care hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study was conducted at Department of Ophthalmology, Sri Venkata Ramnarayan Ruia Government General Hospital (SVRRGGH) attached to Sri Venkateswara Medical College (SVMC), Tirupati from December 2012 to November 2016. 64 eyes of 64 patients with BRVO fulfilling the inclusion criteria were examined as per protocol and results were analysed. RESULTS Majority of the patients were in the age group of 60-70 years accounting for 41% and 38 (59%) were males and 26 (41%) were females. 32 (50%) patients had capillary non-perfusion areas of >1/2 DD but less than 5 DD. Perifoveal capillary network distortion of >3 clock hours was noted in 44 (68.75%) of the cases. Cystoid macular oedema was seen in 24 (37.5%) of cases. CONCLUSION Fundus Fluorescein Angiography is an indispensable tool and is useful in differentiating ischaemic from non-ischaemic macular oedema which plays a major role in plan of treatment.
