The authors report on the results of cyclocryotherapy of the ciliary body applied in 79 eyes with secondary glaucoma of various etiology. In 40% of the cases regulation of intraocular pressure and freedom from pain were achieved during an eleven-month follow-up. The results were remarkably favorable in cases of neovascular glaucoma (regulation of IOP in 50%) and secondary glaucoma following iridocyclitis and intraocular hemorrhages, which usually have a very poor prognosis.

The most usual treatment of neovascular glaucoma is suppression of the production of aqueous by means of coagulation of the ciliary body. In addition to cryocoagulation, diathermic coagulation of the exposed ciliary body by Benedikt and Hiti's method has been applied recently. The results which we obtained in 21 cases with this method are encouraging. In most cases the pain disappeared and the intraocular pressure decreased to below 30 mmHg. In half of the cases cryocoagulation was performed as well as diathermy.

Timolol lowered intraocular pressure in six patients with severe neovascular glaucoma only from about 45 mmHg to about 38 mmHg. The intense pain suffered by five patients was not alleviated. Hence, Timolol treatment does not seem very effective in neovascular glaucoma, although it may be of some value as a supplement to surgical treatment, which is only indicated where the patient still has useful vision. In the absence of an effective therapy for neovascular glaucoma priority must be given to its prevention.

In a prospective study, the effect of anterior retinal cryoablation (ARC) in the management of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) was evaluated over two years, in 72 patients (74 eyes). The outcome of trabeculectomy/seton surgery preceded by 360 degrees ARC was also analysed in 12 eyes of 12 patients (6 eyes in each group). Following ARC, pain relief with dramatic regression of anterior chamber inflammatory reaction was observed in 95% of the patients (59 eyes). At the end of the follow up, as confirmed by iris fluorescein angiography, regression of neovascularization of the iris was documented in 93.5% (58 eyes) of the cases. Intraocular pressure control (< or = 22 mm Hg) was achieved in 82.3% (51 eyes) cases. IOP control of < or = 22 mm Hg was achieved in all the 6 eyes with the seton surgery following ARC. Similarly, control of IOP was successfully achieved in all the 6 eyes of patients with NVG with trabeculectomy with post operative course of 5-fluorouracil following ARC. ARC is strongly recommended in NVG, especially in eyes with media opacities and as a preliminary procedure for filtering surgery or drainage implant surgery.

A 64-year-old man with neovascular glaucoma underwent implantation of a Krupin valve with disk. On the fifth postoperative day, the patient reported pain in the operative eye; examination revealed a hyphema, an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 52 mm Hg, and no visible bleb. A bleb was reestablished and the IOP markedly decreased following irrigation of the shunt using a 30-gauge cannula through a paracentesis site.

Trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation is an efficacious method in neovascular glaucoma (NVG) treatment. We have used it with krypton laser on 12 eyes of 12 patients affected by NVG with algetic symptoms. Six months after treatment, intraocular pressure was down enough for the pain to disappear. Executional simplicity and the possibility of modulating the intensity of the treatment are grounds for the encouragement of the technique's use in NVG.

A new intervention for neovascular glaucoma is suggested: submuscular decompression multisclerectomy with collagen implant impregnated with 5-fluorouracyl. Immediate and remote (up to 2.5 years) results in 29 patients were analyzed. Intraoperative complications were observed in 24.1% cases: vitreous prolapse in 13.8% and hyphema in 10.3%. Ophthalmic tone compensation was attained in 96% cases in the early postoperative period and in 63% in remote period. Painful syndrome was arrested in 96 and 65% cases, respectively. The hypotensive effect of the operation is due to an increase in the volume of the eyeball and enhancement of uveoscleral discharge.

A 52-year-old-male patient was treated for a posterior choroid melanoma of the right eye. When it was diagnosed, it measured 6mm in thickness and 11.9mm for the largest diameter and had a typical mushroom shape. General investigations found no metastatic disease. It was treated with proton-beam irradiation. Seven years later, the patient experienced increased intraocular pressure associated with cataract and pain. The patient finally accepted enucleation, as the vision of this eye was completely lost and the eye had become painful. Histologic analysis of the eye showed changes affecting both the anterior and the posterior segments of the eye, mostly related to the tumor and the consequences of treatment. Neovascular glaucoma is a major complication that very often leads to enucleation.

Radiation retinopathy is a retinal microangiopathy, observed after irradiation of the eye. It can rarely lead to neovascular glaucoma and enucleation due to pain. It is due to a progressive retinal capillary then vascular occlusion. Total irradiation dose, dose fraction, and surface of the irradiated retina seem to be strong predictive factors for radiation retinopathy. Patients who underwent an irradiation near the eye (skull base tumors, nasal and paranasal tumors, or brain tumors) should be followed by periodic ophthalmologic examination to detect and treat when necessary the non perfusion areas.

Three years after receiving a Baerveldt tube implant for neovascular glaucoma, a 50-year-old man presented to the Wills Eye Hospital Glaucoma Service with pain and decreased vision in his left eye. On examination, a 4-0 nylon ripcord suture was seen to have migrated posteriorly through the pupil and in front of the intraocular lens. The distal end of the suture was not seen on dilated indirect ophthalmoscopic examination or by standard B-scan ultrasonography. Ultrasound biomicroscopy examination was performed, and the distal end of the suture was found to lie just anterior to the pars plana. Careful removal of the suture was performed intraoperatively through two paracentesis incisions using Kelman forceps. Posterior ripcord migration is a rare complication after glaucoma drainage implant surgery, and ultrasound biomicroscopy imaging may be helpful in determining its proper management.
