VITREOUS INFLAMMATORY FACTORS AND SEROUS MACULAR DETACHMENT IN BRANCH RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION

Abstract

An excessive increase of vascular permeability secondary to upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) along with downregulation of pigment epithelium-derived factor may contribute to the development of SRD in BRVO patients.
