Retinal Vascular Diseases Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Which CRVO has normal pupillary reaction, mildly reduced visual acuity and few cotton wool spots?_____

Answer: Nonischemic

Flashcard 2: _____ occlusion is characterized by a pale retina with a "cherry red" spot at the fovea

Answer: Central retinal artery

Flashcard 3: Microaneurysms of diabetic retinopathy are seen mostly in the _____ of the retina

Answer: inner nuclear layer (layer)

Flashcard 4: _____ is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy.

Answer: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO)

Flashcard 5: _____ may occur as a complication of retinal hypoxia in sickle cell retinopathy

Answer: Neovascularization (Sea-fan neovascularization)

Extra: In sickle cell retinopathy, peripheral retinal ischemia/hypoxia triggers the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), leading to **neovascularization**. This marks the transition to Proliferative Sickle Cell Retinopathy (PSCR). **Goldberg Classification of PSCR:** 1. **Stage 1:** Peripheral arteriolar occlusion (leading to hypoxia) 2. **Stage 2:** Peripheral arteriolar-venular anastomoses 3. **Stage 3:** Preretinal neovascularization (**Sea-fan pattern**) 4. **Stage 4:** Vitreous hemorrhage 5. **Stage 5:** Tractional retinal detachment Note: While sickle cell disease is a risk factor for retinal vein occlusions (CRVO/BRVO) due to hyperviscosity, these are generally causes of hypoxia rather than complications arising *from* it in the context of the retinopathy progression.

Flashcard 6: The most important factor for the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy is the _____.

Answer: duration of diabetes

Flashcard 7: _____ retinopathy is classically associated with severe head injury, pancreatitis and chest trauma (due to fat/air embolism)

Answer: Purtschers'

Flashcard 8: _____ rule for diagnosing severe NPDR:Hemorrhages and microaneurysm in 4 quadrants orVenous beading in 2 quadrants orIntraretinal microvascular abnormality (IRMA) in 1 quadrant or more

Answer: 4:2:1

Flashcard 9: Retinal vascular peripheral nonperfusion in sickle cell retinopathy may lead to retinal neovascularization in a _____ configuration in the superotemporal quadrant which is the hallmark of early proliferative sickle cell retinopathy

Answer: seafan

Flashcard 10: "Splashed sauce" appearance on ophthalmoscopy is seen in _____

Answer: CRVO
