Explore the pathophysiological changes, grading, and complications of hypertensive retinopathy caused mainly by essential hypertension. Learn about ocular associations, retinal vein occlusion, and management options. Ocular manifestations of hypertension and its correlation with various eye conditions are discussed in detail.

-- MANY CAUSES -- MAINLY ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION
SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION (JNCV 5TH) STATE OF PERSISTENT ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE ABOVE 140/90 mmHg.

GRADE 1 HTR • GENERALIZED ARTERIOLAR ATTENUATION • BROADENING OF ARTERIOLAR LIGHT REFLEX • CONCEALMENT OF VEIN AT A-V CROSSINGS
GRADE 2 HTR • SEVERE GENERALIZED AND FOCAL ARTERIOLAR CONSTRICTION • A-V CROSSING CHANGES (SALUS SIGN)
GRADE 3 HTR • Copper wiring of arterioles • Venous banking distal to A-V crossing (bonnet’s sn) • Venous tapering on either side of crossing (gunn’s sn) • Right angle deflection of veins. • Flame shaped hemorrhages cotton wool spots, hard exudates.
GRADE 4 HTR • All changes of grade 3 • Silver wiring of arterioles • Disc edema
Ocular associations of hypertension Retinal vein occlusion • CRVO (Central Retinal Vein Occlusion) • HRVO (Hemi Retinal Vein Occlusion) • BRVO (Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion) Constitutes 69.5 % of all RVO cases
CRVO ... Classic Appearance Mildest Form
CRVO NON ISCHAEMIC ISCHAEMIC

CRVO Hayreh et al – • Non – Ischaemic : Due to simple occlusion of retinal venous system • Ischaemic : Due to combined occlusion of the arterial & venous circulation Green et al – Thrombus formation in the region of lamina cribrosa is the primary event
CRVO Complications / Sequelae ... • Macular oedema • Haemorrhage • Ischaemia stimulates neovascularization in • Optic disc • Retina • Angle • Iris - Rubeosis may cause Neovascular Glaucoma • Rhegmatogenous RD • Vascular complications • Microaneurysyms • Optociliary vessels – collaterals between retinal & ciliary vessels
Cilioretinal artery occlusion Combined with CRVO
Cilioretinal artery occlusion Combined with anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
HRVO ... • Superior & Inferior vein do not merge into Central Vein before entering into lamina cribrosa • Like CRVO, only superior or inferior half involved • Types • 2/3rd : Venous stasis • 1/3rd : Haemorrhagic • Rest Rx or management same as CRVO
45/M PR No 17422 BRVO Baseline 20/500 STT 3 weeks 20/500 Avastin 6 weeks/8 m 20/80
BRVO ... • Portion of retina involved • Mostly temporal - 62% Superotemporal • 38% Inferotemporal • Nasal – uncommon & asymptomatic • Occurs exclusively at arterial overcrossing at AV intersection by a thrombus
