muscle cells. The presence of osteoclasts in our case is novel. The reason for the development of subretinal neovascular membranes in eyes with choroidal osteoma is unknown. One hypothesis is that the thinned, degenerated RPE overlying the osteoma allows the growth of new blood vessels. Our observation that osteoclasts are present in the neovascular membrane raises the possibility that neovascu...

This paper investigates the development of digital image analysis method for diagnosing neovascular glaucoma. The conventional ophthalmologist approach attracts some drawbacks such as lot of human involvement that leads to inaccuracy, time consuming and chances of creeping of human errors. Hence to avoid above mentioned drawbacks, this research work is undertaken to diagnose neovascular glaucom...

Pathological neovascularization is a key component of the neovascular form (also known as the wet form) of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Several preclinical studies have shown that antiangiogenesis strategies are effective for treating neovascular AMD in animal models. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the main inducers of ocula...

BACKGROUND Outer retinal tubulations (ORTs) are branching tubular structures located in the outer nuclear layer of the retina. The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of ORTs observed in eyes with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) undergoing treatment with anti-angiogenic intravitreous injection (IVI) with anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) at the Ophthalmology Depart...

In developed countries, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in individuals over the age of 65 years. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a vital role in the formation of neovascular AMD. VEGF regulates angiogenesis, enhances vascular permeability, and drives the formation of choroidal neovascularization. As a result of the introducti...

An anatomical taxonomy for neovascular proliferation of the optic nerve head in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy is presented. The technique consists in comparing (A) number of involved quadrants, (B) calibre of vessels, (C) neovascular density, (D) neovascular area, (E) plane of proliferation, and (F) fluorescein angiographic findings. A similar taxonomy is used to describe fib...

PURPOSE To assess the short-term safety and efficacy of an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in a patient with neovascular glaucoma. CASE REPORT Intravitreal bevacizumab injection was given in a patient with neovascular glaucoma and the changes in the visual acuity, intraocular pressure (lOP), iris neovascularisation were noted before injection and after one day, one week, three weeks and...

purpose : to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pars plana ahmed valve implant combined with pars plana vitrectomy and endolaser photocoagulation for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma in patients with vitreous hemorrhage. methods : retrospectively, we evaluated the records of 18 eyes of 17 consecutive neovascular glaucoma patients who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy and pars plana ahme...

Diabetes can lead to various acute clinical complications, although the occurrence of ophthalmic signs and symptoms is uncommon. Neovascular glaucoma (NG), a rare complication associated with diabetes mellitus, one such condition. Additionally, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) intravitreal bevacizumab. In this case report, we present ...
