Choroidal hypoperfusion: an indicator of low tension neovascular glaucoma

Umesh Chandra Behera et al. Int Ophthalmol. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of low tension neovascular glaucoma in ocular ischemic syndrome.

Methods: An elderly man presenting with vision loss after an episode of hemiparesis was investigated to look for the cause of vision loss and treated.

Results: Fluorescein angiography demonstrated poor uveal perfusion and treatment with panretinal photocoagulation led to rapid closure of the angle.

Conclusion: This case highlights the typical ophthalmic features of ocular ischemic syndrome and emphasizes the necessity of patient education and prognostication.

Keywords: Carotid stenosis; Low tension neovascular glaucoma; Ocular ischemic syndrome.
