Abstract
in English, German

Intraocular ischemia can lead to an overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This in turn can lead to neovascularization in the anterior and/or posterior segment of the eye, e.g. in the iris or the retina. This article reports a case of neovascularization of the lens due to occlusion of the central retinal vein.

Intraokulare Ischämie kann über eine Überexpression von VEGF zu Neovaskularisationen im vorderen und/oder hinteren Augenabschnitt führen, z. B. in Iris oder Retina. Berichtet wird eine Neovaskularisation der Linse nach retinalem Venenverschluss.

Keywords: Neovascularization of the lens; Ocular ischemia; Retinal vein occlusion; Rubeosis lentis; VEGF.
