Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ophthalmodynamometry in cases of occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Among the 29 patients examined with ODM there were 12 cases of such an occlusion, which were unknown to the ophthalmological examiner. All of them could be diagnosed exactly. When by means of ODM an occlusion in the region of the common or internal carotid was excluded the result was equally accurate. A decrease in ophthalmic blood pressure by 15% or a side difference of the same degree indicated in 80% of the cases an occlusion of the internal carotid. The ODM seems, therefore, to be a suitable test for finding or excluding such an occlusion.
