Abstract
The correlation of retinal ischemia with posterior segment neovascularization (PSNV) and anterior segment neovascularization (ASNV) in retinal vein occlusion led to the hypothesis of a diffusible factor arising from ischemic retina as the cause of the complication.3,26 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was subsequently discovered to be that mediator (see Chap. 2).28 In this chapter, we focus on the clinical manifestations of PSNV in retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Chapter 11 takes the same approach for ASNV. Chapter 13 covers treatment of these complications. By definition, all RVOs covered in this chapter and Chap. 11 are ischemic, because intraocular neovascularization developed secondarily (see Chap. 9). Table 10.1 lists the abbreviations found in this chapter. Each abbreviation will be spelled out at its first occurrence.
