Abstract:
The ocular ischemic syndrome includes the ocular symptoms and sins secondary to severe carotid artery obstruction and is characterized by rubeosis iridis, anterior uveitis, retinal hemorrhage, cherry red spot, and neovascularization of the disc and/or retina. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of ocular ischemic syndrome in a 82 years old woman, who had neovascular glaucoma associated with ipsilateral internal carotid artery obstruction. Diagnosis was made by doppler ultrasonographic finding of atheroma of internal carotid artery.
