Fig. 16.9 Fundus images of a 55-year-old woman with an ischemic inferotemporal BRVO. (a) Color fundus photograph of the left eye. Sheathing of the inferotemporal branch retinal vein is seen. (b) A frame from the midphase FA shows severe macular and midperipheral retinal ischemia. The border of the foveal avascular zone is absent for 8 clock h (from 1 to 9 o’clock, proceeding clockwise) and in fact the area of capillary nonperfusion extends beyond the horizontal raphe yellow line into part

of the superotemporal quadrant (area encircled with green oval). Despite the large area of capillary nonperfusion, no retinal neovascularization was present. (c) Monochromatic fundus image from the SD-OCT showing the location of the line scans. (d) The ischemic retina is atrophic (compare the thickness of the retina between the orange arrows to the thickness in the perfused zone between the purple arrows) and the layers of the retina have become indistinct

16.8Case 16.8: Late Development of Neovascularization Elsewhere After Ischemic Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

A 55-year-old female with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia complained of blurred vision of the left eye accompanied by superior visual field loss for 2 months. The VA was 20/160. She was found to have an old inferotemporal BRVO with no ME (Fig. 16.9). The FA revealed no macular leakage. No retinal neovascularization was present. She was lost to follow-up for 3 years at which time she came in with a

complaint of further visual loss on the left. The VA was now counting fingers. A vitreous hemorrhage was present that obscured the fundus. After several weeks of observation and no clearing of the vitreous hemorrhage, she had vitrectomy with sector PRP inferotemporally. Retinal neovascularization was found at the time of surgery. The VA returned to 20/160.

16.8.1 Discussion

Ischemic ME associated with BRVO resolves spontaneously as this case illustrates.8 Undoubtedly,
