title: Neovascular Glaucoma Post Carotid Endarterectomy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
abstract: Carotid endarterectomy is a standard vascular surgical procedure performed worldwide and encompasses multiple risks including cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, stroke, carotid dissection and aneurysmal formation, all of which are well documented in the literature. However, neovascular glaucoma manifesting post carotid endarterectomy, is extremely rare and can have disastrous consequences if left undiagnosed. In this article, we present one such case of neovascular glaucoma manifesting post carotid endarterectomy and review the available literature on this uncommon entity.
