Foveal Eversion is Associated with High Persistence of Macular Edema and Visual Acuity Deterioration in Retinal Vein Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Foveal eversion (FE) is a recently described optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding associated with negative outcome in diabetic macular edema. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the role of the FE metric in the diagnostic workup of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods

This study was a retrospective, observational case series. We included 168 eyes (168 patients) affected by central RVO (CRVO) and 116 eyes (116 patients) affected by branch (RVO). We collected clinical and imaging data from CRVO and BRVO eyes affected by macular edema with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. On structural OCT, we classified FE as pattern 1a, characterized by thick vertical intraretinal columns, pattern 1b, presenting thin vertical intraretinal lines, and patt
