A member asked:
What is a hemi-crvo ? & what's the difference from crvo or branch occlusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vein occlusion : A retinal vein occlusion may be total (crvo), 1/2 the retina (hemi-retinal), branched (brvo), or tertiary (smaller, branch retinal vein occlusion). So it's the size of vein that's occluded that depicts the name. Most often these occur from hypertension.
