RESUMEN

The authors examined a patient who had neovascular glaucoma (NVG) shortly after ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy and followed the patient's clinical course. The authors speculate that the sudden reperfusion after endarterectomy that occurs in patients with combined central retinal artery occlusion and carotid occlusive disease may enhance the circulation of preformed angiogenesis factors, leading to the development of neovascularization. The authors recommend frequent and careful surveillance of patients with central retinal artery occlusion associated with carotid occlusive disease if ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy is performed.
