- Description
- Non-ischemic CRVO (VA 20/30) with secondary CLRAO (nasal macular pallor) in a hypertensive 69yo female. Pathophysiologically, the cilioretinal artery occlusion occurs secondary to elevation in the hydrostatic pressure in the retinal venous system relative to the choroidal perfusion pressure (which supplies the cilioretinal artery).
