[Central retinal vein occlusion and opto-ciliary shunts. An angiographic diagnosis].

Opto-ciliary shunts are compensatory bypass channels from the retinal venous system to the choroidal veins in case of long standing central retinal vein occlusion. Indocyanine green angiography with the Scanning Laser Ophtalmoscope may be helpful to differentiate acquired optociliary shunts from retinal or choroidal arteriovenous malformations.
