“…Macular edema may develop in 5–15% of eyes over a 1-year period [69]. Another study reported an incidence of 15% at 7.5 months following the onset of BRVO [72]. Of eyes with macular edema at presentation, 18% achieved resolution by 4.5 months, and 41% by 7.5 months.…”

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) can have severe consequences for the people affected by the disease, including visual loss with costly social repercussions. Currently, there is no European consensus with regard to the management of RVO. Following a careful review of the medical literature as well as the data from several clinical trials, a collaborative group of retina specialists put forth practical recommendations based on the best available scientific evidence for the clinical approach to RVO. Taking into consideration the recent advances in diagnostic tools and management options, the present document aims to provide the European ophthalmologists with guidelines for clinical practice to the benefit of their patients.

“…(6,7) Most common cause in decrease in visual acuity was cystoid changes at macula and macular ischaemia, which was confirmed by fundus fluorescein angiography. (8,9) None of the patients in our series developed retinal neovascularisation or iris neovascularisation, which could be due to small sample size of the study and less incidence of neovascularisation in BRVO as compared to CRVO (Central retinal vein occlusion).…”

BACKGROUNDIt is important to know the natural history of branch retinal vein occlusion in order to understand that any benefit attributed to intervention of any kind is due to the effect of the treatment alone and not due to natural course of the disease. In view of so many treatment options available, it becomes important to understand the natural outcome in case of BRVO, so one can decide when to intervene.

“…In BRVO patients, SRD occurs as a result of transudation of extracellular fluid into the subretinal space with the site of detachment being determined by foveal architecture, particularly the presence of the Müller cell cone (21,22) . Furthermore, when the barrier function of the ELM breaks down due to traction on the Müller cell cone, intraretinal fluid moves into the subretinal space resulting in an increase of SRD and alleviation of retinal edema (12,15) .…”

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate visual acuity (VA) and central macular thickness (CMT) to assess the influence of serous retinal detachment (SRD) in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods: Sixty-one eyes with BRVO from 61 patients with ME were analyzed and divided into two groups according to the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of SRD and cystoid macular edema (CME). All patients underwent complete ophthalmic examinations and OCT measurements (Cirrus, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc, Dublin, CA). Patients with marked retinal hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy, previous laser photocoagulation, and/or intravitreal injection were excluded. Results: The mean age of included patients (37 males, 24 females) was 65.4 ± 11.4 (53-77) years. There were 21 patients with SRD and 40 patients with CME. All of the 21 patients with SRD had CME. VA was significantly worse in the SRD group compared with the CME (non-SRD) group (0.82 ± 0.34 logMAR vs 0.64 ± 0.38 logMAR; P=0.005). Conversely, CMT was significantly greater in the SRD group than in the CME group (465 ± 115 µ vs 387 ± 85 µ; P=0.00004). Conclusion: SRD may be associated with decreased VA. The prognosis of patients with BRVO and SRD requires further investigation.
