  1. Asymptomatic BRVO

    A superior nasal branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is usually asymptomatic, as the macula is typically spared. These cases are often identified incidentally during routine examination. Fluorescein angiography (FA) reveals localized capillary nonperfusion in the affected quadrant, indicating retinal ischemia. Despite the absence of symptoms, close follow-up is essential to monitor for neovascular complications. #BRVO #FluoresceinAngiography

  2. Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

    In branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), fluorescein angiography (FA) is used to detect areas of retinal non-perfusion, indicating ischemia. Laser photocoagulation is often employed to treat these ischemic areas, preventing neovascularization and further complications. This targeted treatment reduces the risk of vision loss and stabilizes retinal function. #BRVO #FluoresceinAngiography #NonPerfusion #LaserPhotocoagulation #RetinaImaging
