網膜静脈分枝閉塞症53例54眼に対して光凝固,線溶療法,抗凝固療法を施行せずに視力予後の検討を行い,以下のごとき結論を得た.
(1)最終視力は0.1以下が9眼(17%),0.2以上0.4以下が12眼(22%),0.5以上0.7以下が11眼(21%),0.8以上が22眼(40%)であった.
(2)高齢者,中心窩周囲毛細血管網の障害が1/2周以上,黄斑部浮腫のある症例では最終視力が不良である傾向が認められた.
(3)最終視力0.1以下の症例には経過中視力に大きな変動は認められなかった.一方,最終視力0.8以上の症例の中には発症後2カ月以内に一時的な視力低下を示す例が多く認められたことから,発症初期の視力不良例の視力予後の予測は難しいと考えられた.また,少なくとも発症後3カ月以上経過観察をしなければ視力の自然改善の有無は判断できない場合が多く,したがって,視力改善を目的とした早期の光凝固の適応は慎重に決定すべきであると考えた.
We evaluated the natural course of 54 eyes (53 cases) with branch retinal vein occlusion. These cases are a part of a larger series as others were treated by photocoagulation during the early stage of the disease. The observation period ranged from 6 months to 6 years, average 18 months.
The final visual acuity was 0.5 or better in 33 eyes (61%), 0.4 to 0.2 in 12 eyes (22%) and 0.1 or less in 9 eyes (17%). The final visual acuity was positively correlated with the age (p < 0.005), impaired perifoveal capillary network (p < 0.01) and the macular edema initially present (p <0.05).
In the majority of cases with good final visual acuity, a transient fall in visual acuity was a fre-quent event within 2 months after onset of the disease. In the early stage of the disease, therefore, due precaution is necessary to assess the final visual prognosis and decide the indication for photocoa-gulation.
