[Cerebral and carotid arterial radiograms in low tension glaucoma].
Cerebral and carotid arterial radiograms were performed for 22 healthy volunteers, 8 patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG), and 10 patients with low tension glaucoma (LTG). Analysis of the Time-Radioactivity Curves suggested that insufficient perfusion of the carotid artery, especially the internal carotid artery, might play an important role in the optic nerve damage of some cases of LTG.
