 | Media file 1: Recent onset central retinal vein occlusion, showing extensive hemorrhages in the posterior pole and giving the "blood and thunder appearance." |
 | Media file 2: Peripheral fundus view of the same patient in Media file 1, showing hemorrhages extending all over the fundus. |
 | Media file 3: Fluorescein angiograph of the same patient in Media file 1, showing hypofluorescence due to blockage from hemorrhages in the retina. It is not useful to perform a fluorescein angiogram in acute stages of the disease. |
 | Media file 4: Fundus picture of the same patient in Media file 1, showing resolving neovascularization of the disc and panretinal photocoagulation scars. |
 | Media file 5: Fluorescein angiogram of the same patient in Media file 1, taken more than 1 year later, showing persistent cystoid macular edema with good laser spots. |
 | Media file 6: Patient with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion presented with dilated, tortuous veins and superficial hemorrhages. |
 | Media file 7: Fundus picture of the same patient in Media file 6, showing resolved hemorrhages and pigmentary changes in the macula several months later. |
 | Media file 8: Central retinal vein occlusion showing significant disc edema with dilated tortuous veins and scattered retinal hemorrhages. |
 | Media file 9: Fluorescein angiogram of the same patient in Media file 8, showing leakage from disc, staining of retinal veins. |
 | Media file 10: Fundus of a patient with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion, showing few scattered peripheral fundus hemorrhages. |
 | Media file 11: Scattered retinal hemorrhages in a patient with central retinal vein occlusion. |
 | Media file 12: Fluorescein angiogram of a patient with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion, showing staining of dilated tortuous veins with leakage into macula in a cystoid pattern. |
 | Media file 13: Fluorescein angiogram of the same patient in Media file 12, showing perifoveal capillary leakage in a cystoid pattern in late phases of angiogram. |
 | Media file 14: Arteriovenous phase of fluorescein angiograph showing perifoveal capillary leakage in a patient with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion. |
 | Media file 15: Late phase of fluorescein angiograph of the same patient in Media file 13, showing cystoid pattern of leakage from perifoveal dilated leaking capillary network. |
 | Media file 16: Fundus picture of a well-compensated, old central retinal vein occlusion showing optociliary shunt vessels. |
 | Media file 17: Red-free photo of the same patient in Media file 16, showing prominent optociliary shunt vessels. |
