The authors present two cases of neovascular glaucoma following branch retinal vein occlusion. The first case presented bilateral ischaemic branch retinal vein occlusions. ⋯ The authors analyse the main pathogenic hypothesis of neovascular glaucoma, and suggest that it could be the result of the concurrent action of posterior ocular alterations (like retinal ischaemia following a branch retinal vein occlusion) and of cerebrovascular insufficiency. This second factor could contribute to global ocular ischaemia, thus, involving the anterior vascular structures of the eye as well.
