Answer- B. CRVO
The given figure of fundus is showing:
- Tortuous & engorged veins with hemorrhages all over retina
- Typical splash tomato fundus.
- CRVO is more common than the artery occlusion. Occlusion of CRV is less abrupt in presentation than occlusion of CRA.
- In central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), glaucoma manifests about 100 days after thrombosis of central vein,’therefore, it is also called 100 days glaucoma.
