90-Day Glaucoma: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) also called as 90-day glaucoma, is a potentially devastating sequela of serious underlying ocular and/or systemic diseases. Anterior segment neovascularization involving the iris, the angle or both is accompanied by the formation of a fibrovascular membrane that obstructs the aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork and results in rise of IOP. Here we present a case of a fifty seven year old male who presented with diminution of vision in left eye since 45 days associated with pain and redness L/E since 15 days. On examination visual acquity of R/E was 6/6,N 6 and in L/E patient denied perception of light. Our case presented with almost all features suggestive of NVG except that of rubeosis iridis which makes it unique, as to the best of our knowledge this has been very rarely reported anywhere in literature before.
