Kiseleva TN; Grigor'eva EG; Tarasova LNVestnik Oftalmologii 2003; 119: 5-7
The clinical peculiarities of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) set out below were defined in carotid lesions: saucer-shaped excavation of the optic nerve disc, 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 disc ischemia. Ultrasound scanning of eye vessels can detect impaired blood circulation in the ocular artery and in the central retinal artery, i.e., pronounced lower terminal diastolic velocity of the blood flow and a higher resistance index.
