The latter of the above relationships was first reported by Verhoeff in 1913.¹ Subsequently other investigators have reported frequent correlation of unilateral retinal vein occlusion and chronic simple glaucoma.^2-9

The current two-part study was performed to document the clinical and pathological manifestations of this condition. In the first group of patients histologic confirmation of central retinal vein occlusion was noted in enucleated eyes. An attempt was made in this group to correlate central retinal vein occlusion and chronic simple glaucoma.
