[Glaucomatous neuropathy concomitant with carotid pathology: the specificity of pathogenesis and diagnostics].
The below clinical peculiarities of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) were defined in carotid lesions: saucer-shaped excavation of the optic nerve disk, local or total loss of the retinal ring, peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy as well as central defects and segmental prolapses in the visual field. Fluorescence angiography was used to determine the regions of local disk ischemia. Ultrasound scanning of eye vessels provide for detecting the impaired blood circulation in the ocular artery and in the central retinal artery, i.e. a pronounced lower terminal diastolic velocity of blood flow and a higher resistance index.
