Aim of The Work: To compare the effects of Ranibizumab versus Aflibercept intravitreal injections on macular edema (M E) caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Patients and Methods: This study was carried out on two groups of patients of either sex with an age ranging from 35 to 70 years. Every patient injected 3 loading doses. Ranibizumab dose is 0.5 mg dose vial (0.05 mL). Aflibercept dose is 2 mg dose vial (0.05 mL). Follow up was done 1st day post operation then monthly for 4 months. The eyes were followed for VA, IOP, OCT, FFA and any complications. Results: Both groups showed a significant reduction in central macular thickness (CM T) as well as an improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). As regard CM T, the reduction and improvement in Aflibercept group was 71.6%, while the reduction and improvement in Ranibizumab group was 61.2%. Regarding to BCVA, the improvement in Aflibercept group was 70.8%, while the improvement in Ranibizumab group was 44.4%. The majority of the patients were satisfied from improvement of vision after injections. Conclusion: Both Ranibizumab and Aflibercept were efficient drugs in resolving M E secondary to BRVO with a superior improvement in VA and CM T in Aflibercept group compared with basal values.

Patient and methods: Thirty nine patients suspected to have small bowel diseases were examined with 64 MDCT enterography. Result: MDCT enterography easily diagnosed small intestinal diseases which confirmed with histopathological results, operative data and follow up. Conclusions: MDCT can be used as a front-line imaging and one stop imaging modality for the detection of small bowel diseases. However, biopsy is still the confirmatory diagnostic method.
