青光眼与颈动脉相关性研究进展

青光眼是一种进行性特征性视神经损害为共同特征的眼部疾病.在以往的研究中高眼压被认为是导致视神经损害的主要危险因素.其中颈动脉狭窄所致眼部血流调节异常及视神经血流灌注不足导致的缺血缺氧也是青光眼视神经损伤的重要发病机制之一.研究发现颈动脉异常在青光眼的发生、发展中起着十分重要作用.本文就青光眼与颈动脉的相关性研究进行综述.

Research progress of correlation of glaucoma and carotid artery

Glaucoma is an ophthalmic disease with common characteristics of progressive and diagnostic optic nerve damage. In previous studies, intraocular hypertension is recognized as the main risk factor which causes the optic nerve damage. Besides, the anomaly of optic blood flow regulation caused by carotid artery stenosis, and hypoxia-ischemia caused by hypoperfusion of optic nerve blood flow, are also considered as one of the pathogenesises of glaucoma. Researches show that carotid artery anomaly plays a quite significant role during the development of glaucoma. This paper is going to summarize the correlation research of glaucoma and carotid artery.
