Resumen
SALINAS-ALAMAN, A; GARCIA-LAYANA, A; SADABA-ECHARRI, LM y BELZUNCE-MANTEROLA, A. Branch retinal vein occlusion treated by intravitreal triamcinolone. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.8, pp.463-466. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical cases: Five eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) were treated with intravitreal injection of 4 mg of triamcinolone. Four cases showed good visual acuity and macular thickness evolution after one dose. The remaining one case suffered a relapse three months later. Therefore a second injection was performed in that case. Discussion: Several treatments have been suggested to manage macular edema in BRVO. Intravitreal triamcinolone may be a therapeutic option to increase visual acuity and decrease macular thickness in patients with macular edema secondary to BRVO.
