“…The functional impairment consequent to MBRVO may be severe, although the ophthalmoscopic changes may be minimal [3,4], and depends on two different features: macular edema and central ischemic damage. Our previous experience in the advanced form of MBRVO revealed the importance of the macular ischemia, demonstrating a direct correlation between visual acuity impairment and enlargement of the foveal avascular zone [1].…”

“…Macular branch retinal vein occlusion (MBRVO) represents a peculiar venous occlusion in which the obstruction is limited to a small venous vessel draining a specific sector of the macula located between superior and inferior temporal arcades [8, 30,61,62,63,64,65]. The risk factors are the same as those for major BRVO, with special importance related to hypertension, and MBRVO is especially diagnosed in males aged between 60 and 65 years [8].…”

Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders with different clinical aspects, courses, and probably therapy. Depending on the site of the arteriovenous crossing, we can roughly divide BRVO into 3 main groups: major BRVO, hemispheric retinal vein occlusion, and macular BRVO. Main treatment options include laser treatment, corticosteroid administration, anti-VEGF drugs, and sheathotomy with or without vitrectomy. Laser photocoagulation, as demonstrated by the Branch Vein Occlusion Study, represents the gold standard for the treatment of macular edema and ocular neovascularization following BRVO. The limited functional outcomes achievable by means of laser treatment have prompted researchers to try alternative options, with varying results. The recent introduction of combined therapies for macular edema may provide a superior approach in an attempt to improve and stabilize visual acuity over a long-term follow-up.
