3Selçuk Üniv. Tıp Fak. Göz Hast. AD. We reviewed retrospectively clinical and fluqrescem angiographic features of 323 eyes or 301 patients. 33.1% were central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), 4.1% hemicentral retinal vein occlusion (HRVO), 62.8% branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). In 6.8% of patients bilateral involvement were present. 10.2% of patients with CRVOwere 40 years old or less. 58.8% of patients in the CRVO group were ischaemic and 41.2% were non-ischaemic, 30% of patients with HRVO were ischaemic and 70% were non-ischaemic. The localization of occlusion in BRVO were as 48.8% superior temporal vein, 30.1% inferior temporal vein, 20.2% macular branch vein and 0.9% nasale branch vein. Rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma were found to be 34.9% and 15.8% in ischaemic type CRVO, 50% and 25% in ischaemic HRVO, 1.9% and 0.4% in BRVO group respectively. In young adult CRVO group only one eye had rubeosis iridis. Angiographie macular edema was present 62.6% of CRVO group, 53.8% of HRVO group and 43.8% of BRVO group. Visual results was less than 1/10 in 88.9% of patients with ischaemic CRVO group. 63.7% of patients with non-ischaemic CRVO had a final visual results 1/10 or more. It was 5/10 or more in 55.2% of BRVO group. 75% of ischaemic HRVO had 1/10 or more. In 75% of the young adult with ischaemic CRVO the final visual acuity was less than 1/10 and 85.7% of non-ischaemic had final visual acuity 1/10 or more.
