[Artificial compression of the superficial temporal artery by faulty eyeglasses (frame) position. A hemodynamically significant phenomenon].
Temporal superficial artery is clinically important, angiological primarily as collateral vessel in stenosis or obstruction of internal carotid vessel. Author describes artificial compression of both temporal superficial arteries by deficient spectacale-bows. There was relevant hemodynamic irritation of perfusion in dopplersonographic examination cranial of compressed vessel, which normalized after restitution. Supposing in case internal carotid artery was obstructed there would be a dangerous situation.
