Vascular accidents in acute angle closure glaucoma

S Sonty, B Schwartz

    Ophthalmology
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study presents four cases of acute angle closure glaucoma complicated by ocular vascular accidents, including optic nerve head ischemia and retinal vein occlusion. Patients with compromised hematologic and cardiovascular health may be predisposed to these serious complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute angle closure glaucoma is an ophthalmic emergency.
    • Ocular vascular accidents can lead to vision loss.

    Observation:

    • Presents four distinct cases of acute angle closure glaucoma.
    • Cases include optic nerve head ischemia, central retinal vein occlusion, and vitreous hemorrhage.

    Findings:

    • One patient experienced vitreous hemorrhage after intraocular pressure reduction.
    • Highlights the occurrence of various ocular vascular events in glaucoma patients.

    Implications:

    • Suggests a potential predisposition to ocular vascular accidents in patients with poor hematologic and cardiovascular status.
    • Emphasizes the need to consider systemic health in managing glaucoma patients.
