Unilateral branch retinal vein occlusion and contralateral branch retinal artery occlusion: a case report and comprehensive literature review.

ABSTRACT: Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) are two distinct yet serious retinal vascular disorders that often present with acute visual impairment. While both conditions are commonly encountered independently, their simultaneous or sequential occurrence in opposite eyes of the same patient is exceedingly rare and poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we present the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of systemic hypertension who developed BRAO in the right eye and BRVO in the left eye within a short time interval. Detailed ophthalmologic examination, multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and systemic vascular assessments such as carotid Doppler ultrason
