Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy in neovascular glaucoma: Salvaging the conventional outflow pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a case of acute neovascular glaucoma with partial synechial angle closure secondary to central retinal vein occlusion that underwent gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy as well as near-monthly anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections and panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatments.

Observations

Nine months after GATT, the patient had achieved intraocular pressure control on no medications. However, she was lost to follow up for 4 months and received no anti-VEGF or PRP during that time; she re-presented with acute NVG and complete synechial closure, and ultimately underwent aqueous shunt implantation.

Conclusions and importance

To our knowledge, this is the first reported attempt of an ab interno angle surgery to s
