PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to characterize central @entity2994 (CRVO) with inflammatory etiology. DESIGN: A retrospective study. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 51 eyes of 48 @entity1 with CRVO between 2004 and 2009 and investigated whether they had inflammatory findings related to @entity4816 , that is, severe peripheral retinal vascular changes based on @entity941 angiography and anterior vitreous cells. The extent of vascular leakage was classified as "mild," "moderate," and "severe" in angiographic images. RESULTS: Six eyes of 5 @entity1 (11.8%) had both inflammatory criteria. All @entity1 were male and with a diagnosis of @entity63 CRVO. No causative etiology was detected in any @entity1 . The mean age was 46.4 (SD, 23.3) years. The age range was not limited to young generation. These @entity1 received systemic @entity228 therapy with a mean follow-up period of 41.8 months. The mean logMAR visual acuity [1.29 (SD, 0.77)] and central retinal thickness [1290.5 (SD, 399.0)  m)] at the initial visit were significantly (P = 0.004 and P = 0.001) improved at the final visit [0.94 (SD, 0.69) and 266.7 (SD, 135.4)  m, respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: Central @entity2994 with idiopathic inflammatory conditions appears to have clinical characteristics of broad age range and good response to systemic corticosteroid therapy.
