  • Title: [Pathogenesis of unilateral dilated episcleral vessels and increase in intraocular pressure].
    Author: Jørgensen JS, Guthoff R.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1987 May; 190(5):428-30. PubMed ID: 3613445.
    Abstract:
    Between 1983 and 1986 the authors studied 5 patients with idiopathically dilated episcleral vessels. All of them had unilateral open-angle glaucoma (25-38 mm Hg) and elevated episcleral venous pressure (22-38 mm Hg). Orbital venography showed normal venous outflow. It is presumed that the etiological mechanism was a localized venous obstruction in the region of the extraocular muscles.
