Carotid Doppler measures blood flow velocity and vascular resistance index in the central retinal arteries and short posterior ciliary arteries. The blood flow profile of the optic nerve in chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG), however, has not been well documented. We report a 48-year-old female patient who presented with grossly asymmetric CACG and was evaluated by carotid Doppler. The patient had coexistent reduced blood flow in the ophthalmic artery of the more afflicted eye. Color Doppler imaging clarifies hemodynamic alterations in the glaucomatous optic nerve and helps to identify vascular aspects of the disease and its treatment.
颈动脉多普勒可测量视网膜中央动脉和睫状后短动脉的血流速度及血管阻力指数。然而，慢性闭角型青光眼（CACG）患者视神经的血流情况尚未得到充分记录。我们报告了一名48岁女性患者，她患有严重不对称性慢性闭角型青光眼，并接受了颈动脉多普勒检查。该患者患侧眼的眼动脉血流同时减少。彩色多普勒成像可明确青光眼性视神经的血流动力学改变，有助于识别该疾病及其治疗的血管方面情况。
