Purpose: To investigate the longitudinal relationship between subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT) and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods: Retrospective cohort of 104 subjects with enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography for unilateral CRVO. Mean CT and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared in eyes with and without CRVO and in eyes with CRVO with and without cystoid macular edema (CME). Results: CT was thicker in eyes with CRVO-related CME than uninvolved contralateral eyes at baseline (263.9 ± 86.9 versus 230.2 ± 87.9 µm; P < .001) and final follow-up (261.1 ± 94.7 versus 222.3 ± 86.2 µm; P = .007). CRVO eyes treated with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor with or without steroid therapy showed a significant reduction in CT at final follow-up (256.3 ± 90.7 versus 236.9 ± 85.9 µm; P = .004). Subjects with CRVO who were not treated with intravitreal injections also showed a significant but more modest decline in CT over time (234.4 ± 94.2 versus 221.5 ± 97.1 µm; N = 31; P = .02). However, contralateral uninvolved eyes without CRVO did not show a significant change in CT over time (233.3 ± 87.9 versus 219.5 ± 90.6 µm; N = 71; P = .40). Persistent CME at final follow-up was associated with thicker baseline (277.6 ± 96.4 versus 235.1 ± 86.5 µm; P = .02) and final CT (265.7 ± 93.4 versus 215.0 ± 82.1 µm; P = .005). Change in CT was not related to change in BCVA ( P > .05). Conclusions: CT was greater in eyes with CRVO-related CME compared to eyes with CRVO but no CME and compared to uninvolved contralateral eyes. CT decreased in eyes with CRVO over time both among eyes that received intravitreal injections and among eyes that did not receive injections. CT may be a prognosticator of treatment response in CRVO-related CME.

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to report the efficiency and safety of intravitreal aflibercept for the treatment of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. Ten naive eyes of ten patients with CME secondary to CRVO were included. All eyes received a loading dose of 3 monthly aflibercept injections followed by as-needed injections at monthly follow-up visits. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) were evaluated at baseline and at the end of the follow-up period. Results The median follow-up period was 6 months (range: 6 – 9). The median number of injections was 4 (range: 3 – 5). Median BCVA improved from 1.05 LogMAR units (range: 0.7 – 1.6) at baseline to 0.65 (range: 0.4 – 1.6) at the end of the follow-up period (p = 0.02). Median CRT improved from 690 µm (range: 561 – 1235) at baseline to 243 µm (range: 207 – 531) at the end of the follow-up period (p = 0.002). The power of all statistical tests was greater than 0.8. No adverse effects or complications were documented. Conclusion Intravitreal aflibercept treatment for CME secondary to CRVO significantly improved both macular anatomy and visual acuity without adverse effects.
