Abstract

We present a rare complication of an arteriovenous fistula for haemodialysis. Incompetence of the anti-reflux mechanism associated with elevated venous pressure in the subclavian vein provided conditions for intense blood reflux to the left jugular territory and development of ipsilateral glaucoma, successfully treated by ligation of the left jugular veins.
