Abstract Purpose:Neovascular glaucoma(NVG)is rarely reported in patients with ocular sarcoidosis. Here, we report a patient with sarcoidosis who developed bilateral NVG after undergoing intraocular surgery without retinal ischemia.

Case Presentation:A 69-year-old man presented with bilateral vitreous opacities suspected to be malignant lymphomas. The patient had undergone cataract surgery and vitrectomy at another hospital. Neovascular vessels were observed on the surface of the iris 4 months postoperatively. Therefore, anti-glaucoma eye drops were administered to both eyes, and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)injection was administered to the right eye. At the time of referral, his corrected visual acuity was 0.4 in the right eye and 0.5 in the left eye. The intraocular pressures in the right and left eyes were 33 and 42 mmHg, respectively. Neovascular vessels were observed at angle and iris in both eyes. At the previous hospital, corticosteroid eye drop administration was discontinued 1 month postoperatively, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug eye drops were discontinued 2 months postoperatively. Although corticosteroid eye drops and anti-VEGF injections were administered to the left eye at our hospital, the reduction in intraocular pressure was insufficient. Consequently, Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation with pars plana tube insertion was performed. The intraocular pressure in the left eye decreased postoperatively, and the prednisolone dose(30 mg/day)was gradually tapered.

Conclusion:NVG may occur after intraocular surgery in patients with ocular sarcoidosis, but without retinal ischemia, for whom postoperative anti-inflammatory therapy is inadequate. Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation with pars plana tube insertion may be a useful treatment option for NVG caused by uveitis.
