Chronic Ocular Ischemia and Carotid Vascular Disease

  • John E. Carter
Chapter

Abstract

Although most ocular manifestations of extracranial cerebrovascular disease have a strokelike temporal profile, some patients have ocular abnormalities that are most compatible with a chronic state of ocular ischemia and have evidence of severe, usually bilateral, extracranial cerebrovascular occlusive disease. Similar ocular findings may be seen in other conditions that produce chronic retinal ischemia or altered retinal blood flow, but in some situations it is difficult to dismiss the associated cerebrovascular occlusive disease as an incidental finding.
