Purpose
Natural evolution of severe central retinal vein occlusion with low visual acuity is very poor. A randomized clinical trial will compare troxerutin and platelet anti-aggregating agents (drug treatment) versus surgery and drug treatment. Surgery will include vitrectomy and radial optic neurotomy. The primary outcome will be vision measured 6 months after surgery.

- Proportion of patients showing an improvement of visual acuity (at least 3 lines (15 letters) in ETDRS charts) [ Time Frame: between pre operative examination and 6 months after randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Efficacy [ Time Frame: between pre operative examination and 6 months after randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Mean visual acuity [ Time Frame: between pre operative examination and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Macular thickness in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Persistence of hemorrhages in the fundus [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Retinal ischemia indicating pan retinal photocoagulation [ Time Frame: 6 months after randomization ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Safety : Serious complications after surgery (retinal detachment, retinal ischemia, neovascular glaucoma) or medical treatment during the 6 months following surgery. [ Time Frame: after surgery or medical treatment examination and 6 months after randomization ]

Detailed Description:
Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) is the second most frequently retinal vascular disease causing loss of vision, after diabetic retinopathy. No treatment of CRVO has clearly demonstrated beneficial and long lasting visual results. Commonly used treatment options are platelet anti-aggregating agents, correcting rheologic factors with troxerutin and isovolumic hemodilution. Surgical treatment of CRVO has recently been proposed (2001) and has been studied in numerous non comparative pilot studies. Limited but encouraging results motivate our randomised controlled trial. We will evaluate at 6 months visual acuity after surgery associating pars plana vitrectomy and radial optic neurotomy, in patients with central vein occlusion and bad vision, associated with the correction of rheologic factors.
