To evaluate the hyperreflective foci in branch retinal vein occlusion and central depicted by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).Consecutive series of 73 eyes patients with (58 15 occlusion) who had Spectralis OCT images obtained were retrospectively reviewed, comparing color fundus photographs fluorescein angiography.Hyperreflective detected 54 (74.0%) OCT, hard exudates 17 (23.3%) photography. Hard on corresponded to confluence mainly around outer plexiform layer unaffected areas images, whereas fine scattered all layers affected (P < 0.001). Most attached inner side external limiting membrane also serous detachment Compared diabetic macular edema, we did not find subfoveal occlusion.Hyperreflective delineated suggest pathogenesis regarding flow extravasated blood constituents occlusion.
