Relationship between retinal vessel tortuosity and oxygenation in sickle cell retinopathy

Relationship between retinal vessel tortuosity and oxygenation in sickle cell retinopathy

Abstract Background Reduced retinal vascular oxygen (O2) content causes tissue hypoxia and may lead to development of vision-threatening pathologies. Since increased vessel tortuosity is an early sign for some hypoxia-implicated retinopathies, we investigated a relationship between retinal vascular...
