Is retinal vein occlusion related to root canal work?
Retinal Vein OcclusionThe central retinal vein is the venous equivalent of the central retinal artery, and like that blood vessel can suffer from occlusion (central retinal vein occlusion), similar to that seen in ocular ischemic syndrome. Since the central retinal artery and vein are the sole source of blood supply and drainage for the retina, such occlusion can lead to severe damage to the retina and blindness, due to ischemia (restriction in blood supply) and edema (swelling). It can also cause glaucoma.
What are the two main types of retinal vein occlusion?
The two major RVO types are central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
