Full-Thickness Retinochoroidal Incision in the Management of Central Retinal Vein Occlusion

Figure 1

Preoperative fundus picture in patient 11 shows diffuse retinal hemorrhage and macular edema (a). Optical coherence tomography reveals macular thickening with cystic changes (b). Her corrected visual acuity was 20/400. Visible retinochoroidal anastomosis (c), decreased retinal hemorrhage, and decreased macular edema (d) were noted 2 months after surgery. Color fundus photography 1 year after surgery shows a total reabsorption of retinal hemorrhage (e). OCT demonstrates further decreased macular edema (f). Fluorescein angiography shows 2 well-established shunting sites ((g), arrows) and her corrected visual acuity was 20/40.
