Patient and Methods: Case report. A 61 year-old man suffering from bilateral ocular ischaemic syndrome causing iris neovascularisation (NVI) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG), was planned for bilateral panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and endarterectomy. PRP was technically only possible in his right eye, while endarterectomy was performed in both carotids. Results: Bilateral complete NVI regression was observed a month after surgery. Conclusion: In some OIS uveal ischaemia could be the major responsible for NVI. Carotid endarterectomy benefits patients who have more than 70% stenosis and improves ocular blood flow, so it should be considered in patients suffering OIS with NVI unre- spective of other cerebral ischaemic symptoms.展开更多
