Objective To probe the possibility of electroretinogram(ERG)maximum combined response for typing branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO). Methods BRVO were divided into ischemic or nonischemic type according to the appearance of fundus fluorescein angiography.The ERG data were used to define the retinl function:a,b-wave amplitude and impact time,b/a-wave ratio,oscillatory potential OP1,OP2,OP3,OP4 amplitude implicit time and Ops amplitude. Results The ERG b-wave and OPs amplitude were significantly lower in ischemic group than those in nonischemic group. Conclusion With the REG test,the decline of b-wave and OPs amplitude of the maximum combined response might be as a reference of ischemic type BRVO. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:10-11)
