[Features of the cerebral and ocular blood flow in patients with different clinical course of myopia]
Abstract:
A total of 3 groups of patients aged 16-32 years: 1st-30 patients (60 eyes)--with a stationary myopia of 6.5 to 9.0 D and normal intraocular pressure (IOP); 2nd-23 patients (46 eyes)--with a high degree of progressive myopia and glaucoma with normalized intraocular pressure during instillation azopta included 2 subgroups: subgroup A--14 patients (28 eyes) - with ischemic variant of glaucoma; subgroup B--9 patients (18 eyes)--with dyscirculatory variant of glaucoma; 3rd group (control)--10 somatically healthy individuals of similar age. Results of color Doppler mapping of the main arteries of the brain and the eyeball revealed features: the predominance of the ability of middle cerebral arteries to vasoconstriction combined with reduced blood flow in central retinal artery and short posterior ciliary arteries and cause ischemica variant of glaucoma, slowing blood flow in the vertebrobasilar basin combined with a reduction of venous outflow of the of the eyeball and is accompanied by the development of glaucoma in dyscirculatory variant in patients with myopia of high degree.
