Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Three cases of neovascular glaucoma associated with ocular hypoperfusion secondary to carotid artery disease are reported. In two cases, anastomosis of the internal and external carotid artery systems via a superficial temporal artery to the middle cerebral artery (Yasargil procedure) resulted in resolution of the rubeosis, relief of the ocular pain and improvement of the circulation of the globe. The third case, which did not have this procedure, resulted in a blind eye with severe rubeotic glaucoma.
