- Abstract
Retinal vascular occlusions require close cooperation of different medical disciplines to ensure optimal care of the affected patients. The medical clarification between arterial and venous occlusions is comparable but in the case of retinal arterial occlusions it should be carried out immediately. The most important associated diagnoses are arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation. In younger patients and in the absence of risk factors, a search for rarer causes should be carried out giant cell arteritis in particular should be excluded. In both types of occlusions a causative glaucoma must also be considered.
