Abstract
- Background: To review cases of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and its surgical management and presume their mechanism.<br />Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent surgery for RRD between 2015 and 2019 at a single tertiary care center were retrospectively reviewed. New BRVO secondary to RRD or its surgical procedure was diagnosed based on the fundus examination and its clinical course.<br />Results: A total of 734 RRD surgeries were performed for five years, and six cases of new BRVOs were noticed in the first year after surgery (incidence was 0.68%: six cases of BRVO / 734 cases of surgical RRD); five cases occurred after vitrectomy, and one occurred after scleral buckling. In three cases, retinal veins were presumed to already be partially occluded related due to a kink of the retinal vein seen before surgery. In the other three cases, the retinal veins were presumed to have incurred damage during vitrectomy.<br />Conclusion: In the present cohort, RRD or its related procedures caused BRVO within a year of surgery at an incidence of 0.68%. The proposed mechanisms are kinks of the retinal vein on the detached retina and damage to the retinal vein during vitrectomy.<br /> (© 2023. The Author(s).)
