From: Case series of branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and its surgical management

Series of fundus photos of Case 2 a 63-year-old woman who presented with retinal detachment of the right eye invading from the 2 o’clock to 8 o’clock positions of the retina and involving the fovea; a horseshoe tear was also noted at the 7 o’clock position preoperatively and the demarcation line (blue dots) crossed the macula obliquely from the 2 o’clock to 10 o’clock positions (A). The inferior retinal vein appeared tortuous and there was some evidence of dot hemorrhage (red dots circle) in the territory of the tortuous vein (A). Fundus photo taken at 8 weeks postoperatively showed that the detached retina had reattached after scleral buckling (B). The beaded retinal vein looked healthier than before the surgery, but the dot hemorrhage increased (B). Fluorescein angiography taken at 8 weeks postoperatively showed no pathology other than branch retinal vein occlusion and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (C). The hemorrhage appears to have worsened at 15 weeks postoperatively (D). The hemorrhage appears to have improved in the fundus photo taken at 6 months postoperatively (E) and that taken at 1 year postoperatively (F)
