Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/200 OS. A slitlamp examination showed rubeosis iridis, including the presence of budding new vessels at the pupillary margin (Figure). There was also neovascularization of the angle and a middilated fixed pupil with an intraocular pressure of 48 mm Hg OS. A fundus examination showed proliferative diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. This article highlights that meticulous slitlamp examination can detect even the proliferating new vessels in a case of neovascular glaucoma.

We hope that this atypical finding in a patient with TGA will add to the clinical spectrum of ophthalmic conditions that can be seen with TGA. A 16-year-old boy, diagnosed and operated for TGA, presented with redness and pain in the left eye. The patient underwent complete ophthalmological and systemic examination. Detailed blood workup was done to rule out other causes of uveitis. A working diagnosis of bilateral nongranulomatous uveitis in status postopen-heart surgery was made, and the patient was successfully treated. Thus, uveitis can develop in patients with TGA, and prompt treatment can restore vision in these patients.
