title: [The retinal pigment epithelium in patients with sclerotic macular dystrophy before and after transection of the superficial temporal artery].
abstract: The authors have examined the effect of crossing the superficial temporal artery on the retinal pigmented epithelium in patients with sclerotic macular dystrophy. Three groups of patients with different initial values of electrooculogram Arden's coefficient were examined. Circulation in the vascular membrane of the eye has improved in 76% of patients after surgery. This lead to the normalization of Arden's coefficient in cases with the initially abnormal parameters, which fact evidences the improvement of the retinal pigmented epithelium function after the operation.
