Peripheral retinal neovascularization and rubeosis iridis after a bilateral circular buckling operation.
This report describes a young high-myopic patient who developed rubeosis iridis with peripheral retinal neovascularization one year after a circular buckling operation. Subsequently, vitreous bleeding and exudation led to traction retinal detachment which was treated successfully by anterior vitrectomy and cryopexy. It is suggested that this case represents a mild form of anterior-segment ischemia, combined with peripheral retinal ischemia.
