Human ciliary epithelium as a source of synthesis and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor in neovascular glaucoma.
IMPORTANCE Retinal ischemia-induced upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) leads to endothelial proliferation of the anterior segment, resulting in neovascular glaucoma. OBJECTIVE To investigate the ciliary epithelium as a possible source of VEGF in human eyes enucleated for intractable neovascular glaucoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this proof-of-concept, labo...
متن کاملComparison between the efficacy and side effects of intravitreal versus anterior chamber Bevacizumab injection in neovascular glaucoma patients
Rationale. Neovascular glaucoma is the type of glaucoma most refractory to treatment. The most frequent causes are those associated with retinal hypoxia, which promotes the upregulation of the VEGF synthesis and produces fibrovascular membranes over the anterior chamber angle. Because the administration of anti VEGF products is still off label for neovascular glaucoma, there is not a single acc...
متن کاملRapidly progressive neovascular glaucoma following coronary artery bypass graft surgery in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a case report
BACKGROUND Proliferative diabetic retinopathy leading to vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma is a major cause of severe sight impairment in adults of working age worldwide. Neovascular glaucoma occurs in 2.5% of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is difficult to treat and often leads to blindness. Onset of neovascular glaucoma with r...
متن کاملThe Ahmed glaucoma valve in neovascular glaucoma (An AOS Thesis).
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of Ahmed glaucoma valve surgery in neovascular glaucoma and control patients. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study, we reviewed 76 eyes of 76 patients, comparing the surgical outcomes in control patients (N=38) to matched neovascular glaucoma patients (N=38). Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) > or =6 mm Hg and < or =21 mm Hg, without ...
متن کاملIntravitreal triamcinolone acetonide as adjunctive treatment for neovascular glaucoma.
Neovascular glaucoma is a challenging disease in its pathogenesis and treatment. Ischemic retinopathies can lead to neovascular glaucoma due to newly formed vessels on the iris surface and anterior chamber angle. Eyes with neovascular glaucoma can exhibit high intraocular pressure, usually treated by retinal coagulation, cyclodestructive procedures, or drainage procedures. Based on experimental...
