INFLUENCE OF THE SYMPATHTIC NERVOUS SYSTEM ON THE INTRA-OCULAR PRESSURE AND VASCULAR CIRCULATION OF THE EYE*t

چکیده
THE first section of the following paper describes the effects on the intraocular pressure of cutting and stimulating the cervical sympathetic nerves in cats and rabbits. This section is a repetition of previous workers' experiments, except that we have recorded simultaneously on the same film the intra-ocular pressure of both eyes and the blood pressure, thus enabling intra-ocular pressure changes resulting from general blood pressure effects to be distinguished from local sympathetic effects. The subsequent sections deal with the appearance in vivo of the aqueous veins and choroidal. circulation in rabbits. The changes observed during stimulation of the sympathetic nerve and the results of injecting dyes and Indian ink into the carotid artery and anterior chamber are described.

Influence of the Facial Nerve on Intra-ocular Pressure.
STUDIES of the effects of diencephalic stimulation upon intra-ocular pressure have shown that there are pathways in the central nervous system which, when activated, cause a rise or fall in the pressure in the eye independently of changes in the systemic blood pressure (von Sallmann and Lowenstein, 1955; Gloster and Greaves, 1957). It has already been shown that the cervical sympathetic trunk i...
متن کاملInfluence of the intra-ocular pressure on the formation of the aqueous humour and the outflow resistance in the living eye.
THIS study deals with the problem of the regulation of the intra-ocular pressure and the influence of pressure on the formation and the resistance to outflow of the aqueous humour. The main experimental approach has been to analyse the relationship between the steady state intra-ocular pressure and varied rates of flow of fluid through the anterior chamber of living and dead eyes. In the experi...
متن کاملStudies in Ocular Rigidity.
RECENT developments in tonography and applanation tonometry have caused greater attention to be focused on the relation of the elastic properties of the coats of the eye and of ocular rigidity to the intra-ocular pressure. It is now fairly well established that the coefficient of ocular rigidity, K, is not a constant, as Friedenwald (1937) had suggested, but that it varies with the intra-ocular...
متن کاملNEUROGENIC HYPERTENSION: REPORT OF FIVE CASES TO HIGHLIGHT THE CONTROVERSY
The entity of "neurogenic hypertension" is defined as arterial hypertension caused explicitly by derangement of the intricate network of the central nervous system. Among 193 cases of cranial rhizopathies operated on between 1984 and 1995 at this center, 5 cases of established arterial hypertension with concomitant rhizopathies also underwent ventrolateral medullary decompression. The elev...
متن کاملPhotoelectric Method of Investigating the Amount and Oxygenation of Blood in the Fundus Oculi.
THE serious loss of vision which commonly follows a rise in intra-ocular pressure is a familiar clinical experience, but the characteristics of the rate or type of visual loss are not necessarily proportional to the degree of rise in pressure, nor to the length of time for which it operates. Since it is impossible to predict precisely the amount or rate of visual loss from the degree of elevati...
