Retinal angiography in the study of cerebral ischemia

European Neurology
R BrancatoG Ravalico

Abstract

On the basis of the assumption of an affinity between cerebral and retinal vessels, it was sought to demonstrate that the variations induced in the retinal circulation are akin to those occurring at the cerebral level. The technique of retinal fluorescein angiography was used to evaluate the amplitude of the vasal lumen and the speed of circulation. In 5 patients, the drug used was (-)eburnamonine. While the calibre of the retinal arterioles did not undergo variations, a shortening of the mean transit time was observed in 3 of the 5 cases treated, evidencing an improvement in blood flow.
