AIM: To analyze the Clinical features of hypoperfusion retinopathy complicating neovascular glaucoma. METHODS: 15 cases (15 eyes) with hypoferfusion retinopathy were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were examined by visual acuity and fundus examination fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) colour Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) digital subtraction angiography DSA etc. RESULTS: There were 12 cases male and 3 cases female; right eye 10,left eye 5. The age of these patients ranged from 18-78 years old and averaged 40years old. The visual acuity HM 0.8. Posterior segment manifestations included midperipheral intraretinal hemorrhages, narrowed retinal arteries, and neovascularization of the disc and/or retina. All eyes have either ipsilateral common carotid artery obstruction or severe bilateral obstruction of the internal carotid arteries. CONCLUSION: Neovascular glaucoma is a rare and severe complication of hypoperfusion retinopathy. The appearance in fundus and FFA of hypoperfusion retinopathy complicating neovascular glaucoma shows a characteristic clinical feature.
