Abstract
We reviewed the records of 18 patients who had central retinal vein occlusion at Kure National Hospital. Of the 18 eyes, 5 (27.8%) were nonperfused type and 13 (72.2%) were perfused type. Of the 13 perf used-type eyes, 1 (7.7%) become nonperf used type during follow-up.
Visual prognosis of nonperf used-type eyes were poor and their corrected visions were less than 0.1 in a year.
Of the 13 perf used-type eyes, 6 (46.2%) were good in visual prognosis, whose retinal hemorrhage and macular edema disappeared almost completely. Of the 5 eyes without marked macular edema and visual impairment, 4 (80.0%) were good in visual prognosis. Of the 8 eyes with macular edema which had decreased visions, 2 (25.0%) were good in visual prognosis.
Of the 9 treatments with hyperbaric oxygen, only 1 (11.1%) had improvement in visual acuity after the treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment had no effect on visual prognosis.
Of the 18 patients, 8 (44.4%) had hypertension, 8 (44.4%) had diabetes mellitus, and 2 (11.1%) had glaucoma.
