Aims: To compare retrobulbar hemodynamic measured by colour Doppler imaging (CDI) in patients with a different severity of glaucoma and to correlate variables CDI with the structural parameters of the retina and optic disc.Material and methods: Of 89 eyes studied, 31 had preperimetric, 29 early, 12 moderate and 17 advanced glaucoma. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), resistance index (RI) in ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA) and short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs) were evaluated by CDI and compared between study groups. Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) and optic disc parameters measured with optical coherent tomography (OCT) were correlated with the Doppler variables.Results. In eyes with advanced, moderate and early glaucoma EDV SPCAs were significantly lower as well as RI SPCAs were significantly higher compared to the eyes with preperimetric glaucoma. In eyes with advanced and moderate glaucoma RI CRA (0.74 and 0.71) were significantly higher than in eyes with preperimetric glaucoma (0.68) (p=0.014 and 0.026). In eyes with advanced glaucoma PSV OA and PSV CRA were significantly lower than in eyes with preperimetric glaucoma (32.5 vs. 40.7 cm/s p=0.034 and 8.25 vs. 9.7 cm/s p=0.022, respectively). Positive, variable correlations were found between RNFL and EDV of all measured arteries (0.21<R<0.50, p<0,05).Conclusions: Statistically significant alterations in the Doppler parameters of retrobulbar arteries in association with thinning of the RNFL were observed in patients with glaucoma along with a greater severity of optic neuropathy.

Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy

Ischaemic optic neuropathy (ION) is a major cause of blindness. The clinical approach and management is a matter of debate for the treating neurologist and the ophthalmologist. Of the two broad varieties namely the posterior (PION) and anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION), the arteritic variety of the AION (AAION) is usually due to giant cell arteritis. Giant cell arteritis may only present with visual loss in up to 25% of cases. AAION is a neuro-ophthalmic emergency. Early recognition and differentiation from AAION is imperative in order to prevent further devastating visual loss. A literature search was conducted on pubmed using key words as AAION, arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy, giant cell arteritis (GCA) and articles from the year 2000 till date were included. In any case very few reviews are available on AAION. The literature search on pubmed provided holistic overview about this clinical significant entity and the same is compiled in this review. Moreover the histopathologic features of a temporal artery biopsy have been described with its microscopic images. In any case reviews are mostly available on the Non arteritic variety of AION. This review recapitulates the diagnostic and management protocol of a patient presenting with AAION.
