COMBINED CENTRAL RETINAL ARTERY AND VEIN OCCLUSION CRAO AND CRVO

Note the simultaneous presence of venous tortuosity, retinal hemorrhages (features of CRVO) along with retinal ischemic whitening and cherry-red spot (signs of CRAO).

Conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Behçet disease, orbital inflammatory pseudotumor, retrobulbar injection ,hyperhomocysteinemia and leukemia have been reported to be associated with this disorder.

The vision loss in CCRAVO is usually sudden and severe with major risk of developing a neovascular glaucoma. The exact mechanism of this uncommon condition is not well understood. Some studies suggested that CRVO occurs before CRAO and the latter to be the result of a significant rise of intraluminal pressure in the capillary bed or a marked optic disc swelling.

Good morning !!

Diabetic Retinopathy:

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina of the eyes, leading to vision impairment and potentially blindness. It is a leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults worldwide.

Causes and Risk Factors

1. Diabetes: DR is a direct result of high blood sugar levels, which damage the blood vessels in the retina.

2. Duration of diabetes: The longer a person has diabetes, the higher their risk of developing DR.

3. Blood sugar control: Poor blood sugar control increases the risk of DR.
4. Hypertension: High blood pressure can exacerbate DR.

5. Genetics: Family history and genetic predisposition can play a role in the development of DR.

Stages of Diabetic Retinopathy

1. Mild non-proliferative DR: Early stage, characterized by microaneurysms (small swellings in the blood vessels).

2. Moderate non-proliferative DR: Intermediate stage, marked by increased microaneurysms and retinal hemorrhage.

3. Severe non-proliferative DR: Advanced stage, characterized by extensive retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots.

4. Proliferative DR: Most advanced stage, marked by the growth of new, fragile blood vessels that can lead to vision loss.

Symptoms

1. Blurred vision: Gradual or sudden vision loss
2. Floaters: Small, dark spots or cobwebs in the visual field
3. Flashes: Brief, sudden flashes of light
4. Night blindness: Difficulty seeing in low light environments

Diagnosis

1. Comprehensive eye exam: Includes visual acuity testing, dilated retinal examination, and retinal imaging.

2. Retinal imaging: Fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), or retinal photography.

Treatment

1. Laser photocoagulation: Reduces edema and prevents further vision loss.

2. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections: Reduces edema and prevents further vision loss.

3. Vitrectomy: Surgical removal of vitreous gel and blood to restore vision.

4. Good blood sugar control: Maintaining tight blood sugar control can slow or halt the

Prevention

1. Regular eye exams: Annual comprehensive eye exams can detect DR early.
2. Good blood sugar control: Maintaining tight blood sugar control can reduce the risk of DR.
3. Healthy lifestyle habits: Regular exercise, balanced diet, and stress management can help manage diabetes and reduce the risk of DR.

Early detection and treatment are critical in managing diabetic retinopathy and preventing vision loss. If you have diabetes, it's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider and eye care specialist to monitor and manage your eye health.
