[The treatment of acute occlusion of the retinal arteries with novocaine blocks of the carotid sinus area].
The treatment of 27 patients with occlusions of the branches and the trunk of the central retinal artery by means of novocaine blockades of sino-carotid zone and medicamentous therapy has resulted in the rise of visual acuity in 74% of cases, widening of the visual field--in 88.8%. The author considers the method to be one of effective means for rehabilitation of patients with acute disturbances in arterial blood circulation in the retina.
