Abstract
We report a case of rubeosis iridis resulting from agenesis of the internal carotid artery. Agenesis of the internal carotid artery is a rare congenital anomaly, and most patients do remain asymptomatic, but we should realize that this condition may lead to ocular ischemic changes, the result being rubeosis iridis.
Keywords: Rubeosis iridis, agenesis of the internal carotid artery, glaucoma, trabeculectomy.
