To analyze the complex pattern of filling of the intervortex vein (IVV) anastomoses through large trunks in highly myopic eyes based on indocyanine green angiographic (ICGA) videos. The medical records of 1,060 consecutive highly myopic eyes that had undergone ICGA were studied. IVV anastomoses were identified in the ICGA images, and the ICGA images and videos were analyzed comprehensively to characterize their hemodynamic features. Seven eyes with IVV anastomoses through large trunks were analyzed. In the ICGA videos of six eyes, laminar flow was observed in the IVV anastomotic vessels. The laminar flow started in the arterial phase in two eyes, with pulsatile fashion in 1 of them. The flow began in the early arteriovenous transition phase in four eyes. The laminar flow continued for a mean of 12.17 ± 3.06 seconds, and the remaining section was gradually filled slower than the surrounding veins. The anastomotic trunk for the remaining one eye was too narrow to be analyzed. Four eyes had longitudinal ICGA records, and two had significant attenuation and narrowing of the anastomotic vessels. The very early filling of part of the IVV anastomoses suggests that arteriovenous anastomoses are involved in the IVV of highly myopic eyes. However, this suggestion needs further study. There may be similar pathogenesis for IVV anastomoses either in thick or thin sclera.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007208 Indocyanine Green A tricarbocyanine dye that is used diagnostically in liver function tests and to determine blood volume and cardiac output. Cardio-Green,Cardiogreen,Ujoveridin,Vofaverdin,Vophaverdin,Wofaverdin,Cardio Green,Green, Indocyanine
D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses
D002829 Choroid The thin, highly vascular membrane covering most of the posterior of the eye between the RETINA and SCLERA. Choriocapillaris,Haller Layer,Haller's Layer,Sattler Layer,Sattler's Layer,Choroids
D004396 Coloring Agents Chemicals and substances that impart color including soluble dyes and insoluble pigments. They are used in INKS; PAINTS; and as INDICATORS AND REAGENTS.

D005451 Fluorescein Angiography Visualization of a vascular system after intravenous injection of a fluorescein solution. The images may be photographed or televised. It is used especially in studying the retinal and uveal vasculature. Fluorescence Angiography,Fundus Fluorescence Photography,Angiography, Fluorescein,Angiography, Fluorescence,Fluorescence Photography, Fundus,Photography, Fundus Fluorescence

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. Retrospective Study,Studies, Retrospective,Study, Retrospective
D012590 Sclera The white, opaque, fibrous, outer tunic of the eyeball, covering it entirely excepting the segment covered anteriorly by the cornea. It is essentially avascular but contains apertures for vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It receives the tendons of insertion of the extraocular muscles and at the corneoscleral junction contains the CANAL OF SCHLEMM. (From Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Scleral Spur,Scleral Spurs,Scleras
