Glaucoma as a complication of superselective ophthalmic angiography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of glaucoma that resulted as a complication of superselective ophthalmic angiography in a 67-year-old man with a recurrent olfactory groove meningioma. Superselective angiography in the right ophthalmic artery was performed to confirm the orifice of the feeding arteries during preoperative embolization. Immediately after the fourth injection of contrast medium, the patient suffered from acute angle-closure glaucoma with elevation of intraocular pressure. Early treatment, including laser iridotomy, relieved the symptoms completely.

Superselective ophthalmic angiography for diagnostic and therapeutic use.
Until recently , the use of superselective orbital angiography for the diagnosis of orbital vascular lesions has rarely been attempted because of the technical difficulty of the procedure [1-5]. However, recent advances in catheter technology have made it easier to perform superselective catheterization of the ophthalmic artery. We describe the use of this technique for orbital interventional p...

متن کاملEvaluation of Ophthalmic Artery Branch Retrograde Intervention in the Treatment of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO)
BACKGROUND Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is the occlusion of the central retinal artery resulting in retinal infarction and acute vision loss. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided superselective ophthalmic artery or selective carotid thrombolysis remains the preferred treatment method for CRAO. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of the novel ophthalm...
