Fig. 7From: Case series of branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and its surgical managementProposed mechanism I of retinal vein occlusion after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) (cases 1, 2, and 3). Kinking of the retina is common in RRD and causes folding of the retinal vein. Folding of the retinal vein may increase the likelihood of retinal vein stasis, especially in patients with older age, hypertension, or dyslipidemiaBack to article page
