Ocular ischemic syndrome: recent trends in medical management

Ribhi Hazin, Yassine J Daoud, and Faisal Khan

Curr Opin Ophthalmol 20(6):430 (2009) PMID 19696669

Purpose of review: To summarize general concepts of ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS), and present current scientific developments in delineating the pathogenesis and treatment of this disorder. Recent findings: Recent studies suggest that OIS is associated with a significant risk of cerebrovascular, ocular, and systemic morbidity. Summary: OIS is a serious blinding condition that occurs in the setting of carotid artery occlusion. Restoration of arterial perfusion and early diagnosis are critical for preserving visual function and reducing the risk of devastating ocular complications.

    We assessed the ophthalmic arteries of 11 patients via color Doppler flow imaging. Before undergoing carotid endarterectomy, five patients showed reversed ophthalmic artery flow. In the other six patients who experienced antegrade ophthalmic artery flow, the average peak systolic flow velocity was 0...

    Ocular circulation: Before CAS, 13 patients showed reversed ophthalmic artery flow, and 25 antegrade flow. Average peak systolic flow velocity was -0.038 m/s. Within 24 h after CAS, all patients showed antegrade ophthalmic artery flow; reversed flow before CAS was thus resolved. Average peak systoli...
