[Observations and results of photodocumentation of retinal thromboses treated with Colfarit (author's transl)].
A report is given on 41 patients (6 prethromboses, 14 central veinthromboses and 21 branch vein thromboses), who were treated with acetosalicylic acid (Colfarit). The retinal charges were continuously documented by Polaroid photographs. Comparison of over one thousand pictures resulted in the following findings: All 6 prethromboses and 7 of the central vein thromboses were reopened within 8 weeks, even in the most advanced cases. The age of the patient was not a factor. The highpoint of the Colfarit effect was clearly identified in the photographs as occurring in the 5th week. No results with Colfarit were noted in the branch vein thromboses, in fact bleeding recurred in almost every case in the fifth week, when Colfarit was given for longer than 4 weeks in the dosage of 3 times 0.5 g daily.
