Abstract

Elevated episcleral venous pressure (EEVP) is a rare but important cause of raised intraocular pressure. The resultant glaucoma is often severe and refractory to routine anti glaucoma treatment. Usually it occurs due to arteriovenous fistulas or venous congestion. This entity is important to detect as it may be associated with serious pathologies like retrobulbar tumor, cavernous sinus thrombosis, mediastinal tumor to name a few. EEVP is considered idiopathic after ruling out such disorders. Here, we have described idiopathic EEVP also known as Radius-Maumenee syndrome along with a detailed diagnostic and therapeutic approach of management.
