Abstract |
Ocular ischemic syndrome is a disorder which includes the ocular symptoms and signs secondary to marked carotid artery occlusion, and typically occurs in elderly men. The ocular signs are unilateral injected eye with corneal edema, anterior uveitis, rubeosis iridis, neovascular glaucoma and cataract. On ophthalmologic examinations, unilateral venous dilation, narrowed retinal arteries, equatorial dot-blot hemorrhage and disc or retinal neovasculization are oftenly noted. The characteristic angiographic findings are delayed choroidal and retinal circulations associated with ipsilateral internal carotid artery occlusion. We have experienced a case of ocular ischemic syndrome with neovascular glaucoma, who is 61 year old man with right ocular pain and visual disturbance. Angiographic examinations revealed nearly total occlusion of ipsilateral proximal internal carotid artery. |
