Purpose: To report our experience with a peculiar case of asynchronous bilateral retinal vascular occlusion in a patient suffering from membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Case report: A 57-year-old dialysed male affected by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis who underwent kidney transplantation complained of a sudden vision loss in his right eye (RE). His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/40 in RE and 20/20 in the left eye (LE); ophthalmological and fluorangiographic examinations revealed unilateral retinal obliterative vasculitis with panuveitis and apparent sparing of contralateral eye. About 6 months later the patient developed a branch retinal vein occlusion associated with a papillary neovascular membrane in LE. Corticosteroid therapy was administered and immunosuppressant dosage was increased with macular oedema reduction in both events. Conclusion: We report a case of unilateral retinal obliterative vasculitis and subsequent contralateral retinal neovascularization and branch retinal vein occlusion in a patient affected by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

Purpose: We report a case of relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) that developed branch retinal vein occlusion and peripheral retinal neovascularization in one eye. Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 33-year-old healthy man presented with decreased visual acuity (20/150) in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation. Multiple yellow-white lesions were evident in the macula and scattered throughout the fundus. Following workup, a diagnosis of RPC was made. The patient was started on Pred Forte (prednisolone acetate 1%) and atropine drops. Three months later, visual acuity improved to 20/70 and 20/100 in the right and left eyes, respectively. At this time, fundus examination and fluorescein angiography revealed peripheral retinal neovascularization. Sectoral scatter laser photocoagulation was performed in the areas of nonperfusion. Conclusions: We describe a novel presentation of RPC associated with branch retinal vein occlusion and retinal neovascularization. Although the pathophysiology of RPC is believed to be primarily a choroidal vasculitis, retinal vascular changes may also occur, as observed in other white dot syndromes.

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.
