Vitreous body and retinal vein occlusion

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the adhesion status of the posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) towards the internal limiting membrane (ILM) has an impact on the development of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In a retrospective analysis the operation protocols of 238 eyes receiving pars plana...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the adhesion status of the posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) towards the internal limiting membrane (ILM) has an impact on the development of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In a retrospective analysis the operation protocols of 238 eyes receiving pars plana vitrectomy (ppV) and radial optic neurotomy (RON) for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) or ppV in combination with arteriovenous sheathotomy (AVS) for branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) were evaluated with respect to the intraoperative status of posterior vitreous body adhesion. The results were compared with age-matched healthy controls. In this study 145 eyes (60.9 %) suffering from CRVO and 93 eyes (39.1 %) diagnosed with BRVO were included. In eyes with CRVO and BRVO the posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) was significantly more often attached (126 eyes, 86.9 % and 89 eyes, 95.7 %, respectively) than completely detached (19 eyes, 13.1 % and 4 eyes, 4.3 %, respectively, in each case p
