title: [Pulsatile ocular blood flow in patients with juvenile glaucoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma juvenile and in normal subjects.
  
  
  METHODS
  20 glaucoma juvenile subjects and 20 persons as a control group aged 13 and 17, were matched for intraocular pressure and pulsatile ocular blood flow using pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF).
  
  
  RESULTS
  A positive correlation was found between ocular blood flow in patients with glaucoma juvenile and normal subjects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  1) POBF is a new and simple tool for the measurement intraocular pressure and pulsatile ocular blood flow and may be useful for diagnosis of the glaucoma. 2) We found a significant difference between ocular blood flow in glaucoma juvenile patients and normal subjects.
