A member asked:
Is a branch retinal vein occlusion could be a sign of ms ?

Don't think so: Optic neuritis is typically associated with ms. Brvo is associated with hypertension, or certain blood clotting disorders, depending on your age.

No: Brvo is not typically associated with ms. You need to be evaluated for systemic hypertension, diabetes, clotting disorders, and other related eye/ systemic disorders to prevent recurrence and involvement of your other eye. You also need to see a retinal specialist to treat the brvo and minimize long term related deficits.

Not at all: You are describing a cause of an ischemic optic neuritis, which is very different from an inflammatory optic neuritis. MS is not a disease of blood vessels or circulation.
