title: [Two cases of isolated avulsed retinal vessels].
abstract: Two cases of isolated avulsed retinal vessels without retinal breaks or any other vitreoretinal disorders are reported. Case 1: a 57-year-old woman developed acute vitreous hemorrhages in the right eye associated with an avulsed retinal artery in the superior equatorial region. Case 2: a 74-year-old man had an asymptomatic avulsed retinal vein in the superior midperiphery. Repeat argon laser photocoagulation resulted in uncomplicated occlusion of the avulsed retinal vessels and reduced the risk of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage.
