Aims and Objective - The aim of the present study is to identify risk factors associated with different retinal vascular occlusive diseases (RVOD), such as central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), hemi-retinal artery occlusion (HRAO), branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), cilioretinal artery occlusion (Cilio-RAO), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), and hemi-retinal vein occlusion (HRVO). Patients and Method - A cross-sectional study on 114 consecutive subjects, aged 24-96 years who have attended at the outpatient department of ophthalmology at Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa, MP, were included in the study. The Duration of study was January 2016 to December 2017. Only patients with CRAO, BRAO, HRAO, Cilio-RAO, CRVO, BRVO, and HRVO were included in the study. Other retinal vascular disorders such as diabetic vaso-occlusive disease, anterior and posterior ischemic and non-ischemic neuropathy, hypertensive retinopathy, sickle cell retinopathy, retinal telangiectasia, retinopathy of prematurity, were excluded from study. Results - We have included 114 patients, 64 cases (56.14%) males, 50 (43.85%) females, aged 56+/-8 years (range 24-96 years).  Bilateral retinal vascular occlusive disorders were seen in only 4 cases (3.5%). Two patients have bilateral CRVO followed by one case of bilateral BRVO and one case of bilateral CRAO.  Out of 114 patients, branch retinal vein occlusion was seen in 62 cases (54.38%), followed by central retinal vein occlusion in 36 cases (31.57%), CRAO in 8 cases (7.01%), and hemi- retinal vein occlusion in 4 cases (3.50%). Hypertension was the most common, (40 cases, 35.08%) risk factor identified for retinal vascular occlusive disorders followed by diabetes 24 cases (21.05%), combined diabetes and hypertension in 22 cases (19.29%), and atherosclerosis in 18 cases (15.78%). Conclusions - Retinal vascular occlusive diseases have systemic as well as ocular risk factors. Understanding of these risk factors is essential for proper treatment of RVOD. Timely identification of risk factors for RVOD may helpful in decreasing ocular and systemic morbidity in these patients.

Abstract Background A central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency due to its strong association with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A timely diagnosis is necessary but difficult in the setting of dense asteroid hyalosis, as typical fundoscopic findings can be obscured. We present a case where multimodal imaging in an eye with an obscured fundus could lead to timely diagnosis and management of CRAO in a patient with acute vision loss. Case presentation A 94-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of exudative macular degeneration presented to the retina clinic with acute vision loss in one eye over the course of an afternoon. The patient had dense asteroid hyalosis, and a direct retinal exam was not possible. Multimodal imaging suggested a CRAO diagnosis. The patient received digital ocular massage directly prior to undergoing fluorescein angiography (FANG), which confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was transported from clinic to the emergency room for an emergency stroke workup, which revealed a spontaneous echo in the left atrial appendage, and the patient was started on antiplatelet therapy. When she presented for follow-up within a week, the patient noted that her vision had improved at the time of digital ocular massage and continued to improve thereafter. Her FANG showed marked reperfusion of the retina, and she subsequently has completely regained her baseline visual acuity. Conclusions Multimodal imaging is useful in evaluating visual loss in patients with acute vision loss. In addition, ocular massage is a simple, low-risk intervention that may have benefit in the treatment of acute CRAO. Patients who present to ophthalmologists with an acute CRAO need an emergency referral for evaluation of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular comorbidities.

Purpose Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious iatrogenic complication of ovulation induction. It is a potentially lethal condition, with severe complications which include ovarian enlargement, and massive fluid redistribution from the vascular system into free spaces resulting in ascites, pleural effusion, electrolyte imbalance, hemoconcentration, hypovolemia, oliguria, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Thromboembolism is a rare but extremely serious complication. Case Report We report a case of severe OHSS, presenting with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). Discussion This combination has not been reported previously.
