Abstract
The whole neuro-anatomical background of the vision from the retina to the visual cortex is supplied by the branch system of the internal carotid artery and the vertebral artery bilaterally. A non-invasive, easily performed test method detecting various abnormalities of the large arteries supplying the area plays an important role in neuro-ophthalmological diagnostics, which is explained partly by the above fact, partly by the incidence of degenerative vascular diseases.
