[Fluorescein angiographic studies of the perilimbal conjunctiva and limbus in hypertension].

Seventeen patients with vegetovascular dystonia with hypertensive reactions, 19 patients with essential hypertension at IB-IIA stages, and 26 hypertensive patients at IIB stage of the disease underwent fluorescein-angiographic study of the perilimbal conjunctiva and limb. The advantage of this method as compared to the biomicroscopic one, is that it allows one to obtain objectively documented information on the state of vessels and velocity of blood flow in them. It was established that by the method of fluorescein-angiography of the perilimbal conjunctiva region and limb there may be detected pathologic changes in the microcirculation of the field under study not only at early stages of essential hypertension but also in vegetovascular dystonia patients with hypertensive reactions, when changes on the fundus of the eye were absent.
