title: [Results of ophthalmological investigations in patients with intracranial aneurysms late after ligation of the common carotid artery].
abstract: In the Ophthalmology Department, Medical Academy in Białystok control examinations of 17 patients aged 48-65 years were carried out late after ligation of the common carotid artery for intracranial aneurysm. The control group comprised 10 patients with such aneurysms not treated surgically. Using ophthalmodynamometry (Sobański method) reduction was found of the pressure in the central artery of the retina on the side of the ligated artery as compared to the contralateral eye and control group. Besides that, impairment of the visual functions was demonstrated in these cases, related probably to haemodynamic disturbances in the visual system following ligation of the common carotid artery.
