[The impact of endovascular intervention on visual functions in patients with traumatic carotid-cavernous...

In 217 patients with traumatic carotid-cavernous anastomosis (TCCA) the visual functions investigation before and after endovascular intervention conduction for the anastomosis exclusion was done. Cessation of the noise in the head synchronous with a pulse, decrease of disappearance of an exophthalmus of an eye or superior optical vein pulsation, of congestional appearance in the orbit, were the signs of the complete anastomosis exclusion. Rehabilitation or increase of visual acuity, improvement of an eye fundus ophthalmological picture, vascular index normalization were noted during deep ophthalmological investigation. Decrease of the blind spot parameters was an objective index of the visual functions rehabilitation, witnessing the disappearance of optical nerve disc (OND) oedema, contrast frequential characteristics normalization, critical frequency of light flashings radiance (CFLFR) rise, decrease of a papillary cycle time (PCT). Studying of the parameters mentioned have special significance for the estimation of postoperative conservative therapy efficiency.
