Rubeosis Iridis Resulting from Agenesis of the Internal Carotid Artery: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of rubeosis iridis resulting from agenesis of the internal carotid artery. Agenesis of the internal carotid artery is a rare congenital anomaly, and most patients do remain asymptomatic, but we should realize that this condition may lead to ocular ischemic changes, the result being rubeosis iridis.

SCIENTIFIC REPORT Ophthalmic artery blood flow in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion
Aim: To evaluate the risk factors for rubeosis iridis by colour Doppler imaging (CDI) in patients with complete internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO). Methods: 34 eyes of 32 consecutive patients with complete ICAO were enrolled. Using CDI, blood flow direction (forward, reverse, undetectable) in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary artery (SPC...

PURPOSE To report a case of anterior segment ischemia (ASI) with rubeosis iridis after circular buckling surgery in a highly-myopic patient which was successfully treated with a second intravitreal bevacizumab injection. METHODS Case report and review of the literature. DISCUSSION ASI is a rare but potentially serious complication of posterior segment surgery. Finally it leads to neovascula...
متن کاملPreliminary report on effect of retinal panphotocoagulation on rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma.
Eight eyes with central retinal vein occlusion one eye with old central retinal artery occlusion complicated by rubeosis iridis or increased intraocular pressure, or both; and one eye with diabetic retinopathy and rubeosis iridis were treated by retinal panphotocoagulation. Vision did not improve but intraocular pressure was lower and iris neovascularisation regressed in most cases, supporting ...
