title: [Retinal pseudothrombosis].
abstract: As opposed to florid diabetic retinopathy, pseudothrombosis in type I diabetics has a favorable prognosis and responds well to panretinal photocoagulation therapy. In the past decade eight cases of retinal pseudothrombosis were evaluated, treated and kept under observation at the department for diabetic eye complications of the 1st University Eye Clinic, Vienna. Photocoagulation therapy repeated at brief intervals halted progression in all cases and improved visual acuity. In the follow-up period (2-10 years) no further episodes of progression were seen.
