2. Angiographic classification of PSR.

Types Angiographic appearances of peripheral retinal capillary beds
Type 1 Qualitatively similar to normal, may be displace posteriorly with loss of capillary beds.
Type 2
‐ Type 2A
‐ Type 2B
Qualitatively abnormal, with abrupt termination of small or medium‐sized vessels.
‐ presence of unstable border with capillary buds or stumps extending into non perfused retina.
‐ absence of capillary buds or stumps.
Type 3 Indeterminate because recent acute arteriolar occlusion involving the vascular border gave rise to
 a type II pattern that reverted to normal following subsequent reperfusion of the vascular bed.

PSR ‐ Proliferative sickle retinopathy
