RESUMO
We reviewed the records of 160 patients who had central retinal vein occlusion between 1980 and 1985. Of 168 eyes, 107 (64%) were classified as nonischemic types and 61 (36%) were classified as ischemic types. Of 107 nonischemic eyes, ten (9%) converted to the ischemic variant. Of 107 nonischemic eyes, 33 (31%) lost three or more lines of visual acuity irrespective of initial visual acuity. A final visual acuity less than or equal to 20/200 was recorded in 57 of 61 (93%) of ischemic eyes and 53 of 107 (50%) of nonischemic eyes.

Pneumoscrotum is a rare condition that receives little discussion in standard texts of urology. The variety of possible etiologies for this condition include air accumulation from lung or retroperitoneal sources, surgical manipulations, or infection with gas-producing organisms. We report the case of a 79-year-old patient with pneumoscrotum who presented to the emergency department complaining of a swollen scrotum. Although Fournier's gangrene was suspected and the patient was taken to surgery, a small right apical pneumothorax that was not appreciated before surgery later was determined to have caused the pneumoscrotum. The process by which air may accumulate in the scrotum as well as differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
