Sequential spectral domain OCT documentation of retinal changes after branch retinal artery occlusion

RK Murthy, S Grover, KV ChalamDepartment of Ophthalmology, University of Florida-Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL 32209, USAAbstract: Branch retinal artery occlusions (BRAO) are characterized histopathologically by inner retinal edema initially and atrophy in the presence of persistent ischemia.
