Disease relevance of Glaucoma, Neovascular

• Injections of 1.25 micrograms of VEGF every 3 days during a 30-day period produced advanced iris neovascularization, ectropion uvea, and neovascular glaucoma [1].
• BACKGROUND: X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is rarely complicated by neovascular glaucoma [2].
• BACKGROUND: Iris rubeosis and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) are serious complications of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy [3].
• Plasma homocysteine levels in noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with retinopathy and neovascular glaucoma [4].
• Carbon dioxide laser trabeculostomy or trabeculo-sclerostomy provides a new method of lowering the intraocular pressure in severe cases of neovascular glaucoma without the hazard of intraocular hemorrhage, common with other filtration procedures [5].

High impact information on Glaucoma, Neovascular

• The use of subconjunctival 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the first weeks after filtration surgery may ensure long-term bleb survival despite a continuing proliferative stimulus such as in eyes with neovascular glaucoma [6].
• PARTICIPANTS: Ten formaldehyde solution-fixed and paraffin-embedded eyes removed surgically from patients with CRVO and neovascular glaucoma were studied [7].
• Uncontrollable neovascular glaucoma occurred an average of 38 months after plaque radiotherapy and, most commonly, after cobalt-60 plaques were used [8].
• Intravenous treatment with ganciclovir resulted in substantial ocular improvement, despite the advanced nature of the disease in one eye in which there was also secondary neovascular glaucoma [9].
• Carbon dioxide laser trabeculostomy for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Glaucoma, Neovascular

• PURPOSE: To report the clinical outcome of patients who received an intravitreal injection of crystalline triamcinolone acetonide as treatment of neovascular glaucoma [11].
• Thus, fluorescein gonioangiography may be helpful in the diagnosis and clinical management of neovascular glaucoma [12].
• CONCLUSIONS: Intravitreal injection of crystalline cortisone with most of the vehicle removed may be a potentially useful additional tool in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma [11].
• METHODS: Thirteen formalin fixed and paraffin embedded enucleated eyes with PDR were used (eyes were enucleated because of being blind and painful as a result of neovascular glaucoma) [13].
• No significant difference in plasma homocysteine levels could be detected between patients with preproliferative retinopathy and neovascular glaucoma [4].

Anatomical context of Glaucoma, Neovascular

• METHODS: Light and electron microscopic studies were carried out on the trabecular meshwork of three enucleated eyes with neovascular glaucoma [14].

Gene context of Glaucoma, Neovascular

• Intracameral tissue plasminogen activator in neovascular glaucoma [15].
• Only a few reports of XLRS histopathological findings with neovascular glaucoma have been published [2].
• Control cases of neovascular glaucoma without PSX disease showed minimal amyloid P, but similar tissue staining for prealbumin and immunoglobulin light chains, consistent with an origin from vascular leakage [16].
• Combined with mild PRP and intraocular gas injection the risk of neovascular glaucoma is low [17].
• The Ki-67 score was significantly higher in the non-irradiated group (p = 0.01) and in the group of patients whose cause of enucleation was tumoral evolution (p = 0.005) compared with the group of patients enucleated after neovascular glaucoma [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Glaucoma, Neovascular

• BACKGROUND: The long-term efficacy and safety of filtering surgery with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in eyes with neovascular glaucoma are unknown [19].
