Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical features and relation of systemic disease of ophthalmic artery hypoperfusion (OAH).
Methods: We reviewed the records of 20 eyes of 19 ophthalmic artery hypoperfusionpatients who were followed up for 1month or more. The clinical outcome were reviewed, retrospectively.
Results: The patients` chief complain was sudden visual loss (14 eyes, 70.0%) and at initial visit, eyes with OAH had mean visual acuity more than or equal 0.5 in 55.0%. The most common ocular sign is the retinal hemorrhage and choroidal infarction and the most associated systemic disease in these patients is the hypertension in 63.2%. Normal patency or mild changes of the internal carotid artery was seen in 75.0% on the side of OAH.
Conclusions: Ophthalmic artery hypoperfusion has a comparatively good visual prognosis. However, the ophthalmologist`s diagnosis may be crucial to the health of these patients, because OAH includes ocular ischemic syndrome that may be the presenting sign of serious cerebrovascular and ischemic heart disease.
