... Abstract Retinal vein occlusion is an obstruction of the retinal venous system by thrombus formation. It is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy affecting nearly 16 million adults. Careful diagnosis, categorization, and treatment may minimize permanent...

... Abstract Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) have been defined as retinal vascular disorders characterized by dilatation of retinal veins with retinal and subretinal hemorrhages, macular edema, and a varying degree of retinal ischemia. Retinal angiography, either as fluorescein and indocyanine green...

... Abstract Retinal vein occlusion is the second most common cause of retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy and is a frequent cause of significant vision loss and associated morbidity. Currently, fluorescein angiography is the gold standard for imaging of the retinal and choroidal...

... Abstract The primary treatment against macular edema with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) has changed from observation in central RVO (CRVO) and laser photocoagulation in branch RVO (BRVO) to administration of intravitreal agents based on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or anti...

... Abstract Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) have been defined as retinal vascular disorders characterized by dilatation of the retinal veins with retinal and subretinal hemorrhages and macular edema, and/or retinal ischemia. Fluorescein angiography (FA) remains essential for the diagnosis...

... Abstract Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common cause of vision loss in elderly people. The complex pathogenesis of central RVO (CRVO), hemi-RVO (HRVO) and branch RVO (BRVO) makes it an interdisciplinary task. Treatment of RVO should aim at eliminating the complications and vision-disturbing...

... Abstract The risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (and for cerebral vein and sinus thrombosis,CVST) differ from those for arterial disease. The risk factors for venous thrombosis arelinked to the Virchow triad of stasis of the blood, changes in the vessel wall, and changes inthe composition...

... Abstract Headache is the most frequent and often the earliest symptom of cerebral vein andsinus thrombosis (CVT). Intracranial hypertension, vein distension and venous infarctionalone or in combination are thought to be the principal mechanisms in the pathophysiologyof CVT headache. The absence...

... Abstract Ultrasound examination of cerebral veins and sinuses is a new application which hasbeen developed in the recent years. In the acute phase of cerebral vein and sinus thrombosis,occlusion of dural sinuses may be diagnosed by transcranial color-coded duplex sonography(TCCS) after echo...

... Abstract Thrombosis of the dural sinus and encephalic veins (CVT) is an infrequent conditionaccounting for less than 1% of all strokes. Several recent prospective series, in particular thelarge International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis cohort, definitelyhave shown a more...

... Abstract In recent reports, cerebral vein and sinus thrombosis has had a better long-term prognosisthan previously thought. However, there may be long-term problems that have not attractedenough attention. The aim of this chapter is to examine the literature for studies reportinglong-term...

... Abstract An overview of various proposed sealing procedures of the oval window proposed forstapedectomy or stapedotomy are presented. These include vein graft, adipose tissue andsubstances like Gelfoam or Merogel. The advantages and pitfalls with these materials arediscussed. ...
