TLDR
An update of the literature about the classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical features, and complications of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy, is made.
Abstract
Background/Purpose:Retinal vein occlusion is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy and is considered to be an important cause of visual loss. In this review, the purpose is to make an update of the literature about the classification, epidemiology, pathogenesis,

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Retinal Vein Occlusion: Evaluation of Superficial and Deep Capillary Plexa.

TL;DR: OCT angiography can simultaneously evaluate both macular perfusion and edema and for the first time, an imaging technique enables the evaluation of the deep capillary plexus, which appears to be more severely affected than the superficial capillaryplexus in RVO.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for central and branch retinal vein occlusion: a meta-analysis of published clinical data

TL;DR: Individuals with end-organ damage caused by diabetes mellitus and hypertension have greatly increased risk for RVO, and Socioeconomic status seems to be a risk factor too.

Correlation of microvascular structures on optical coherence tomography angiography with visual acuity in retinal vein occlusion.

TL;DR: The OCT angiography allows to detect FAZ enlargement, increased parafoveal capillary nonperfusion, and decreased parafovesal VD in eyes with RVO, and the area of superficial FAZ and the parafovision VD are correlated with best-corrected visual acuity in eyesWith RVO.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion, Macular Ischemia, and Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Therapy.

TL;DR: Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy can be a beneficial treatment strategy even in ischemic ME following an acute BRVO, as reported in a 66-year-old female patient treated with repeated intravit real anti-veGF injections.

The Prevalence of Retinal Vein Occlusion: Pooled Data from Population Studies from the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia

TL;DR: The study provides summary data on the prevalence of RVO and suggests that approximately 16 million people may have this condition and research on preventive and treatment strategies for this sight-threatening eye disease is needed.

The epidemiology of retinal vein occlusion: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.

TL;DR: The data suggest a strong association between retinal branch vein occlusion and retinal arteriolar changes, and data from larger populations are needed to further assess associations between risk factors and the incidence of retinal vein Occlusion.

Prevalence and associations of retinal vein occlusion in Australia : The blue mountains eye study

TL;DR: The proportion of the 3 vein occlusion sites shows some differences from those of clinic-based reports and suggests a likely selection bias in previous clinic studies.

Incidence of Various Types of Retinal Vein Occlusion and Their Recurrence and Demographic Characteristics

TL;DR: Retinal vein occlusion occurred more often in men than women; however, 99 of 620 (16%), 15 of 154 (10%), and 17 of 375 (5%) of the patients with central, hemicentral, and branch retinal vein Occlusion, respectively, were younger than 45 years.
