Glaucoma with elevated episcleral venous pressure.

J F Bigger

    Southern Medical Journal
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Elevated episcleral venous pressure, often from venous obstruction, can increase intraocular pressure, leading to glaucoma and vision loss. Recognizing this cause is crucial for proper patient management.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic elevation of episcleral venous pressure can result from venous obstructive disease or arteriovenous fistulas in the head, neck, or orbit.
    • Idiopathic and familial cases of elevated episcleral venous pressure are also documented.

    Observation:

    • Elevated episcleral venous pressure is associated with increased intraocular pressure.
    • Sustained increases in intraocular pressure can lead to optic nerve cupping and visual field deficits.

    Findings:

    • This case report details glaucoma with visual field loss secondary to elevated episcleral venous pressure.
    • The presented case highlights a specific etiology for secondary glaucoma.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of elevated episcleral venous pressure as the cause of glaucoma is vital.
