AIM: To evaluate effects of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC), intravitreous injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and cyclocryotherapy in patients with neovascular glaucoma(NVG). METHODS: Trabeculectomy with MMC was performed on 16 eyes of 16 patients with NVG. Intravitreous injection of TA (4mg/0.1mL), cyclocryotherapy at 4 to 6 points about half circle of the eye. Each point was frozen for 60 seconds. RESULTS: The postoperative normal IOP was in 14 eyes (88%) and the IOP above 21 mmHg was in 2 eyes. The stimulative symptoms were reduced or relieved and iris new vessels were reduced. There was no atrophy of eyeball in all patients. CONCLUSION: Trabeculectomy with MMC, intravitreous injection of TA and cyclocryotherapy is an effective method for patients with NVG.LA: Chinese
