Carotid Artery Atheromatosis Detected With Doppler Ultrasonography In Patients With Normal Tension Glaucoma
Journal Title: Neuro – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG) is an optic progressive neuropathy with intraocular pressures <21 mmHg. It is a disease with multifactorial proposed pathogenetic mechanisms, one of them being intracranial or systemic vasculopathy. Seventy-seven percent of patients with NTG showed some degree of carotid atheromatosis when scanned with carotid US-Doppler. Six percent of patients showed significant burden to carotid blood flow.
