Abstract
Retinal vein occlusion is a well-known clinical entity, but there is no corresponding detailed information about the clinical features of vortex vein occlusion, in man or in primates. There are some old studies dealing with experimental occlusion of vortex veins designed primarily to produce glaucoma [1–11], one study designed to produce retinal detachment [12], and others to study histopathological changes [13–15]. All the earlier studies were carried out in rabbits except for those by Adamiuk [1] and Macri [11] in cats, Müller [8] in the horse, Sachsenweger and Lukoff [12] in dogs, and Nishikawa et al. [15] in five Japanese macaque monkeys. Koster [9] described ocular signs of vortex vein occlusion in rabbits. To investigate the clinical features of vortex vein occlusion comprehensively, I [16] conducted an experimental study of vortex vein occlusion in 40 eyes of rhesus monkeys. All eyes had these examinations: external ocular, intraocular pressure, fundus, fluorescein fundus angiographic, and histopathological features or silicone rubber perfusion. Various vortex veins were occluded in different combinations, as shown in Table 27.1. The findings of the study are discussed in detail elsewhere [16], and following are the main features.
