Abnormal blood vessels on the optic disc.

D P Anderson, M Khalil, D W Lorenzetti

    Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology. Journal Canadien D'Ophtalmologie
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Abnormal blood vessels on the optic nerve head can be congenital or acquired. Fluorescein angiography helps differentiate these conditions, aiding diagnosis in patients with optic nerve head vascular abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Abnormal blood vessels on the optic nerve head present diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding their origin (congenital vs. acquired) is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the diagnostic significance of abnormal optic nerve head vessels.
    • To differentiate between congenital and acquired vascular abnormalities using clinical and angiographic features.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 25 patients with optic nerve head vascular abnormalities.
    • Fluorescein angiography to visualize and characterize abnormal vessels.
    • Analysis of features differentiating congenital and acquired conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Six patients presented with congenital vascular anomalies (prepapillary/optociliary vessels, disc anomalies).
    • Nineteen patients had acquired vascular abnormalities linked to retinal vein occlusion, glaucoma, papilledema, meningioma, or vasculitis.
    • Distinct clinical and angiographic features were identified for each group.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical and fluorescein angiography are valuable tools for diagnosing optic nerve head vascular abnormalities.
    • Differentiating congenital from acquired causes is possible based on specific features.
    • This distinction is important for appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning.
