We reported a 76-year-old woman with cerebellar degeneration who had transient monocular visual loss following the acute attacks of angle-closure glaucoma. The episodes occurred only at night approximately every ten days. She denied pain or any other associated symptoms. Ophthalmological
There is a growing appreciation for the high incidence of silent cerebral infarction and cerebral atrophy on CT scans in patients with amaurosis fugax (AF) and hemispheric transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Seventy patients with AF only (no TIAs), 104 patients with hemispheric TIAs (no AF), 185
Sudden monocular blindness is frequently caused by central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) from embolic sources. Treatment options are insufficient, and spontaneous prognosis toward visual recovery is poor. In addition to ophthalmologic evaluation, transorbital sonographic assessment of the central
Forty-four unselected patients with amaurosis fugax (AF) have been followed for 4.6 years (mean 2.6). Thirty per cent had atheromatous lesions, 20% had miscellaneous diagnoses (temporal arteritis 5, transitory ocular hypertension 2, glaucomatous iritis 1, benign intracraniel hypertension 1), 50%
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of carotid artery embolisation detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on visual function.
METHODS
A prospective study. Visual function was assessed by an independent ophthalmalogist.
METHODS
One hundred consecutive
OBJECTIVE
Diabetes mellitus aggravates carotid occlusive disease, that can manifest as ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). Ocular manifestations and visual prognosis of OIS in diabetic patients were retrospectively analyzed.
METHODS
Twenty-three consecutive diabetic patients with OIS were divided into
Carotid arterial disease may result in a variety of ischemic ocular problems that can eventually lead to permanent blindness. From 1984 to 1988, 18 patients underwent reconstruction of the carotid artery in an attempt to restore normal retinal arterial flow and, thereby, reverse or prevent
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the frequency and characteristics of visual hallucinations (VH) in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to determine their relationship to other visual phenomena.
METHODS
This prospective study included 31 consecutive patients with GCA. All were asked whether they had
A clinical series of five patients operated on for symptomatic cerebral blood flow deterioration is discussed. They presented with either hemispheral symptoms (hemiparesis, amaurosis fugax) or signs of diffuse cerebral hypoxia. In the presence of unilateral or bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA)
Pre- and postoperative positron emission tomography (PET) was performed in six patients undergoing extracranial to intracranial bypass procedures for the treatment of symptomatic extracranial carotid occlusion. The six patients were all men, aged 52 to 68 years. Their symptoms included transient
OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical manifestations and results of carotid artery color Doppler imaging (CDI) of ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS).
METHODS
It was a retrospective case series study. Consecutive patients suspected with OIS were retrospectively studied from 1995 to 2009. We evaluated all
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical and ocular manifestations of Takayasu arteritis and the fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) characteristics of Takayasu retinopathy (TR).
METHODS
Medical records and fundus fluorescein angiograms of 156 eyes of 78 patients with Takayasu arteritis were reviewed.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical and serologic findings of 50 antiphospholipid antibody (APA)-positive patients within a retrospective study.
METHODS
Measurement of visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, tonometry, fundus examination and perimetry. Laboratory tests were performed for detection of
Ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS) is a collection of symptoms of carotid and ophthalmic artery disease of common genesis accompanied by ischemia of eyeball membranes. Specifically, the intraocular blood flow becomes impaired due to inflow reduction or arrest, while the venous outflow remains patent.
BACKGROUND
The efficacy of emergency carotid thromboendarterectomy (CTEA) for acute internal carotid artery (ICA) thrombosis has been questioned. We evaluated the use of CTEA in patients with recent ICA occlusion.
METHODS
From August 1989 to December 1999 patients who underwent urgent CTEA for
