Bilateral Neovascular Glaucoma With Retinitis Pigmentosa: A Clinical Challenge

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and glaucoma are frequent associations. Masking of the underlying retinal ischemia is known to be caused by RP that may cause a clinical dilemma and treatment. We present a middle-aged healthy male presenting with bilateral refractory neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and classica...

Sumario:Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and glaucoma are frequent associations. Masking of the underlying retinal ischemia is known to be caused by RP that may cause a clinical dilemma and treatment. We present a middle-aged healthy male presenting with bilateral refractory neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and classical RP with no evidence of posterior segment ischemia. The case highlights important points and tailored investigations to arrive at the final diagnosis and treatment for such challenging cases.
