摘要视网膜分支静脉阻塞（BRVO）发病率高，是临床常见的视网膜血管病。尽管人们很早就认识到BRVO的眼底特征，但越来越多新影像检查技术的发展应用使人们对BRVO的传统认知提出了挑战，包括该病合理的分型和分类标准，多模式影像检查对阻塞部位血管特征的显示等。对这些特征进行重新总结提炼，对传统影像评定标准的进一步完善优化，可以加深对BRVO的正确认识，并找到与视功能预后的相关性，有助于制定更好的诊疗方案。同时，目前仍需要正确认识和客观评价这些影像检查技术提供的临床特征及其可靠性。

abstractsWith high morbidity, branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is a common retinal vascular disease in the clinic. Although the classic characteristics of BRVO have been recognized for a long time, the traditional understanding of BRVO has been challenged along with development and application of new imaging technologies, including the reasonable classification and staging of the disease, and the vascular characteristics at the occlusive site via multimodal imaging, etc. Thus, re-summarizing and refining these features as well as further improving and optimizing traditional imaging evaluation, can not only deepen the correct acknowledge of the entity, but also find biomarkers of prognosis of visual function, which is helpful to establish better diagnosis and treatment strategy. In the meanwhile, it is necessary that clinical characteristics of BRVO on imaging and the reliability of these imaging techniques are worth correct understanding and objective assessment.
