Figure 1
Figure 1
Colour fundus photograph of right eye (A) shows hyperemic and swollen disc with extensive intraretinal and disc haemorrhages suggestive of CRVO. Similar optic disc features sans the retinal haemorrhages in left eye (B) is suggestive of pseudopapilloedema. CRVO, central retinal vein occlusion.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Horizontal optical coherence tomography scan through macula in right eye (A) shows cystoid oedema of outer nuclear and plexiform layer, neurosensory detachment and thickening of retinal nerve fibre layer. A marked reduction in oedema is noted after treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (B).
Figure 3
Figure 3
Ultrasound B-scan image shows high reflective ovoid lesion at the optic disc representative of optic disc drusen in both eyes. OD,right eye; OU, both eyes.
