lüll Retinal vein occlusion: current treatment Lattanzio R; Torres Gimeno A; Battaglia Parodi M; Bandello FOphthalmologica 2011[]; 225 (3): 135-43Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a pathology noted for more than 150 years. Although a lot has been written on the matter, it is still a frequent condition with multifactorial etiopathogenesis with many unclear aspects. The RVO pathogenesis has varied systemic and local implications that make it difficult to elaborate treatment guidelines. The management of the patient with RVO is very complex and a multidisciplinary approach is required in order to identify and correct the associated risk factors. Laser therapy remains the gold standard in RVO, but only modest functional improvement has been shown in branch retinal occlusion forms. Multicenter studies of intravitreal drugs present them as an option to combine with laser. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, corticosteroids and sustained-release implants are the future weapons to stop disease progression and get a better visual outcome. Consequently, it is useful to clarify some aspects of the pathology that allow a better patient management.|Angiogenesis Inhibitors/therapeutic use[MESH]|Combined Modality Therapy[MESH]|Glucocorticoids/therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intravitreal Injections[MESH]|Laser Coagulation[MESH]|Retinal Vein Occlusion/drug therapy/etiology/surgery/*therapy[MESH] |
