title: [Encephalic Doppler ultrasonography in everyday ophthalmology].
abstract: Encephalic circulation has been studied by Doppler ultrasonography in a number of persons who complained of discreet visual troubles, transient alterations of the uni- or bilateral visual acuity, apparently isolated alterations of the visual fields, or organic or functional alterations of the retina. In a significant number of cases, the examination has shown cerebral vascular alterations--sometimes very severe--which warrant very careful medical supervision and the institution of a sustained vascular treatment.
