Состояние экстракраниальных артерий у пациентов с первично-хроническим ишемическим поражением зрительного нерва

Abstract

Цель. Изучить состояние экстракраниальных артерий у пациентов с первично-хроническим ишемическим поражением зрительного нерва. Ultrasound triplex scanning of the carotid and vertebral arteries in 109 patients with chronic ischemic optic neuropathy was achieved. Combined injury of both carotid and vertebral artery was in 68% of cases. Combination of different by etiology pathological processes was identified in 55% of patients. Small and medium degrees of stenosis were predominant in patients with athero-sclerosis of carotid arteries, and plaques primarily of III (47%), IV (29%) and V (18%) types by structure with a smooth sur-face (89%) were indicated. Velocity indices were reduced for all extracranial arteries.
