Colour Doppler imaging (CDI) is an established method for investigation of the ocular and orbital blood flow characteristics. It has been employed for assessment of blood flow parameters in a number of studies that investigated retinal diseases, including vascular pathology, degenerations, dystrophies, tumours, retinal detachment, etc. Decreased retrobulbar blood flow velocity in the central retinal and the short posterior ciliary artery has been reported in diabetic retinopathy. Reduced blood flow velocity in the central retinal artery and vein was also reported in patients with central retinal artery and vein occlusion. In exudative age-related macular degeneration there was an irregular blood flow in the retrobulbar short posterior ciliary arteries that was suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. In addition to research, CDI has also been reported as a valuable tool for the clinical management of retinal diseases.

Background: Color Doppler imaging (CDI) is a non-aggressive and safe technique for the clinical management of retinal diseases. Recently, the number of infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) has increased due to the incidence of premature births. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the CDI criteria for the ophthalmic artery (OA) and central retinal artery (CRA) in ROP infants with and without plus disease. Patients and Methods: In this case-control study, 42 premature infants (21 infants with plus disease and 21 infants without plus disease) underwent CDI. The arterial CDI parameters, including end-diastolic velocity (EDV), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and peak systolic velocity (PSV), were measured in these patients. After collecting the data, t-test and chi-square tests were used for data analysis. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean EDV of CRA in patients with and without plus disease was 4.35 ± 1.00 and 5.27 ± 1.02 cm/sec, respectively (P = 0.005). The mean PSV of CRA in patients with and without plus disease was 15.65 ± 3.35 and 18.39 ± 4.39 cm/sec, respectively (P = 0.029). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of PSV or EDV of OA (P > 0.05). Also, no significant difference was observed between the two groups considering the RI and PI of CRA and OA (P > 0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, CDI criteria, such as EDV and PSV of CRA, were significantly lower in infants with plus disease as compared to those without plus disease. Since detecting the early stages of plus disease is a challenge for ophthalmologists, assessment of these criteria can be helpful for differentiation of these two subgroups of patients. However, further studies with a larger sample size are needed to determine the cutoff value.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to compare retroorbital blood flow hemodynamics between subconjunctival and sub-Tenon’s anesthesia. This was a prospective, blinded study and included 80 cases. Patients were monitored and treated in the First Ophthalmology Clinic, Ataturk Training and Research Hospital, Turkey. Sub-Tenon’s anesthesia was performed in 42 cases, and subconjunctival anesthesia was performed in 38 cases. Color Doppler imaging to measure ocular blood flow parameters was performed preoperatively and 21 days after cataract operation in each case. Preoperative and postoperative values of resistivity and pulsatility indices in the ophthalmic, central retinal, and short posterior ciliary arteries were compared. Postoperative mean blood flow velocity measurements of ophthalmic artery were not statistically different between the subconjunctival anesthesia group and the sub-Tenon’s anesthesia group (49.63 ± 14.00 vs. 45.85 ± 13.41; P=0.389). Postoperative RI values were higher in the Subtenon’s anesthesia group than in the subconjunctival anesthesia group, but the difference between two groups was not statistically significant (0.81 ± 0.14 vs. 0.74 ± 0.08; P=0.079). The postoperative pulsatility index of the ophthalmic artery, RI of ophthalmic artery, pulsatility index of the central retinal artery, RI of the central retinal artery, and pulsatility index of the posterior ciliary arteries were not significantly different between the subconjunctival and sub-Tenon’s anesthesia groups. In conclusion, the study suggests that postoperative retroorbital blood flow hemodynamics are the same following sub-Tenon’s and subconjunctival anesthesia.

Acute, painless, monocular vision loss (APMVL) usually has a vascular aetiology. We conducted a prospective observational study from 2011 to 2018 to analyse the added value of colour Doppler imaging to assess orbital vessel blood flow in the diagnosis of APMVL. The study included 67 patients (39 [58.2%] men; mean age, 65.9 years [SD 13.7]) with APMVL evaluated at the Neurosonology Laboratory within the first 5 days of symptom onset, who were classified as having either transient or persistent monocular blindness. The blood flow in the ophthalmic and central retinal arteries was assessed using colour Doppler ultrasound with a linear 7.5-MHz transducer. Thirty-three (49.3%) patients presented transient monocular blindness, with reduced blood flow in either the ophthalmic or central retinal artery. The group with persistent vision loss included 24 cases of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and 10 cases of ischaemic optic neuropathy (35.8% and 14.9%, respectively, of the total sample). These patients were older and had a higher prevalence of hypertension and mild carotid atherosclerosis. Orbital colour Doppler ultrasound (OCDUS) clarified the mechanism/cause of the ischaemia in 11 (16.4%) patients and showed abnormal flow in 46 (68.7%) patients, confirming the vascular origin in 19 (57.6%) of the transient monocular blindness cases. Lower peak systolic velocity was observed in patients with CRAO ( p < 0.001), and a velocity < 10 cm/s in the central retinal artery was independently associated with the diagnosis of CRAO. OCDUS can be helpful in confirming the vascular cause and identifying the aetiology of APMVL.
