| retinal neovascularization | <ophthalmology> New blood vessels originating from the retinal veins and extending along the inner (vitreal) surface of the retina. This process is characterised by a diseased retina with a disturbed vascular bed. Neovascularization is associated with a variety of conditions including vascular occlusion, sickle cell diseases, sarcoidosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corneal neovascularization | New blood vessels originating from the corneal veins and extending from the limbus into the adjacent corneal stroma. These vessels may lie in the superficial and/or deep corneal stroma. Neovascularization is a sequel to numerous inflammatory diseases of the ocular anterior segment, including trachoma, viral interstitial keratitis, microbial keratoconjunctivitis, and the immune response elicited by corneal transplantation.

| neovascularization | Proliferation of blood vessels in tissue not normally containing them, or proliferation of blood vessels of a different kind than usual in tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neovascularization, pathologic | Proliferation of blood vessels in tissue not normally containing them, or proliferation of blood vessels of a different kind than usual in tissue. It includes angiogenesis in tumour growth, diabetic retinopathy, haemangiomas, arthritis, and psoriasis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neovascularization, physiologic | The development of new blood vessels, especially in tissues where circulation has been impaired by trauma or disease; in healthy tissue transplants to restore circulation between a transplant and surrounding tissue; and across anastomotic sites. (12 Dec 1998) |
