Optic nerve sheath diameter in normal-tension glaucoma patients.
BACKGROUND To report on the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) compared with controls without known optic nerve (ON) or intracranial disease. METHODS In 18 patients with NTG (mean age 64.9 ± 8.9 years; 7 women and 11 men), CT of the orbit was performed. 17 age- and gender-matched patients without ON or intracranial disease, who underwent CT of th...
متن کاملOptic nerve compression by normal carotid artery in patients with normal tension glaucoma.
AIM To determine whether compression of the optic nerve by the intracranial carotid artery (ICA) can be a causative factor of normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS The medical records of 103 eyes of 54 Japanese patients with NTG and 104 eyes of 52 age matched control patients were reviewed. The neuroradiological findings of magnetic resonance images (MRI) were evaluated to determine the rela...
متن کاملCircadian Blood Pressure and Intraocular Pressure Patterns in Normal Tension Glaucoma Patients with Undisturbed Sleep
PURPOSE To investigate and compare the circadian pattern of blood pressure (BP), intraocular pressure (IOP) and mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP) while experiencing undisturbed sleep in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and non-glaucoma control patient groups. METHODS Twenty-four eyes from 24 patients diagnosed with NTG and 22 eyes from 22 control group patients were enrolled. Systolic BP, di...
متن کاملRelationship Between Nocturnal Intraocular Pressure Elevation and Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Level in Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients.
PURPOSE We studied the relationship between nocturnal habitual position IOP elevation and diurnal IOP level in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients. METHODS A total of 70 young NTG patients with a low diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated IOP < 15.0 mm Hg; low IOP group) and 79 age-, axial length-, and disease severity-matched NTG patients with a high diurnal IOP level (mean diurnal seated...
متن کاملCentral Retinal Venous Pressure in Eyes of Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients with Optic Disc Hemorrhage
OBJECTIVE To compare central retinal venous pressure (CRVP) among eyes with and without optic disc hemorrhage (ODH) in bilateral normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and NTG eyes without an episode of ODH. METHODS In this prospective study, 22 bilateral NTG patients showing a unilateral ODH and 29 bilateral NTG patients without an episode of ODH were included. Eyes were categorized into gro...
