Neovascular glaucoma is a very severe form of intractable secondary glaucoma, refractory to medical and surgical therapy. The etiological factor being ischemic or hypoxic pathology in the retina. The most common causes of neovascular glaucoma are CRVO, PDR and ocular ischemic syndrome. Here we are presenting a case of neovascular glaucoma. The patient presented with pain and redness in the right eye since one week. On examination there was no perception of light, RAPD, and IOP was 40mmHg. On slit lamp examination there was rubeosis iridis 360 degree, corneal edema. Gonioscopy revealed narrow angle and fundus examination showed multiple dot and blot hemorrhages, with ghost vessels superiotemporally suggestive of old CRVO and glaucomatous optic atrophy. The patient was treated with antiglaucoma medication and later cyclocrytherapy.
