Abstract

The results of therapy of retinal vascular thrombosis are analyzed. Common therapy (tissue therapy, vasodilatants, angioprotectors, group B vitamins) was supplemented after discharge from hospital (for patients with thrombosis of the central retinal vein) by laser coagulation of the retina, 10 retrobulbar injections of heparin (0.1 ml) with dexasone (0.5 ml), then 10 intravenous injections of trental (0.5 ml), 10 intravenous injections of 2.4% euphylline, and intramuscular injections of lasix (4 ml, 3 injections every other day). Immediately after discharge the patients were prescribed ethanol solution of bee glue (40 drops orally in boiled water) and 1 tea-spoon of pollen with water, both to be taken after overnight fasting. Due to intensive care, hemorrhages in the retina resolved sooner and visual acuity increased to 0.7-0.9 diopters with correction; intraocular pressure 3.4 months after the disease onset was 18.21 mm Hg. One year after the disease, patients who received no retrobulbar injections of trental, been glue, or pollen still had hemorrhages along the vessels on the fundus oculi, retinal degeneration and new vessels in the paramacular area and on the optic disk; visual acuity of these patients was 0.02 diopters with...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
