The aim of this study was to describe the clinical presentation and analyze the outcomes of medical and surgical management in eyes diagnosed with idiopathic elevated episcleral venous pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis of eyes diagnosed with IEEVP over a 5-year period between April 2012 and March 2016 was performed. The demographic details, medical history, and clinical course of the cases were obtained from the medical records. Data pertaining to the severity of glaucomatous damage, response to medical management, need for surgical intervention, and their outcomes were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifteen eyes of 13 patients were included. Thirteen eyes (86.6%) had open angle configuration. Among the 13 eyes that had glaucoma, eight eyes (61.5%) had severe glaucoma, four eyes (30.7%) had moderate glaucoma, and one eye (7.6%) had mild glaucoma. The median follow-up was 210 days. Seven of the 15 eyes (46.6%) required a glaucoma filtration procedure, and three underwent prophylactic sclerotomies. 71.4% of these eyes had complete success. One out of the seven operated eyes required choroidal drainage post-operatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IEEVP is an extremely rare condition and presents with raised intra-ocular pressure and tortuous episcleral vessels. The management of IEEVP is similar to that of primary open angle glaucoma. Uveal effusion is to be anticipated, and hence, combining trabeculectomy with prophylactic sclerotomies is advisable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_2931_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,29]],"date-time":"2022-08-29T05:38:02Z","timestamp":1661751482000},"page":"3316-3319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Outcomes of medical and surgical management in eyes with idiopathic elevated episcleral venous pressure"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Nagalekshmi","family":"Ganesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Glaucoma, Sankara Nethralaya, Medical Research Foundation, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md Shahid","family":"Alam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orbit, Oculoplasty, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Services Aditya Birla Sankara Nethralaya, Kolkata (A Unit of Medical Research Foundation, Chennai), West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronnie J","family":"George","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Glaucoma, Sankara Nethralaya, Medical Research Foundation, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shantha","family":"Balekudaru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Glaucoma, Sankara Nethralaya, Medical Research Foundation, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingam","family":"Vijaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Glaucoma, Sankara Nethralaya, Medical Research Foundation, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1967.00980020112024","article-title":"Determination of episcleral venous pressure in the eye.
