Relationship between perifoveal capillaries and pathomorphology in macular oedema associated with branch retinal vein occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study the relationship between macular ischaemia on fluorescein angiography (FA) and pathomorphology at the foveal centre delineated by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in macular oedema (MO) associated with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

Methods

One hundred and five consecutive eyes of 105 patients with MO (centre point thickness (CPT) ≥ 300 μm) associated with BRVO in which FA using Heidelberg Retinal Angiography 2 and Spectralis OCT were performed on the same day were retrospectively reviewed. We evaluated the foveal pathomorphology using OCT images and the association with macular ischaemia.

Results

Within 1 year from symptom onset, 94 eyes were classified with perfused macula (34 eyes) or non-perfused macula (60 eyes). Eyes wit
