[Pathology of arterial and venous occlusive diseases of the retina (author's transl)]. 1977

B Daicker

A short synopsis is given on the pathology of the different arterial and venous occlusive diseases in the retina. Based on the author's material and the literature their causes and mechanisms as well as the local sequelae are described, discussed and abondantly illustrated.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D012161	Retinal Artery	Central retinal artery and its branches. It arises from the ophthalmic artery, pierces the optic nerve and runs through its center, enters the eye through the porus opticus and branches to supply the retina.

D001157	Arterial Occlusive Diseases	Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.

D012169	Retinal Vein	Central retinal vein and its tributaries. It runs a short course within the optic nerve and then leaves and empties into the superior ophthalmic vein or cavernous sinus.

D014652	Vascular Diseases	Pathological processes involving any of the BLOOD VESSELS in the cardiac or peripheral circulation. They include diseases of ARTERIES; VEINS; and rest of the vasculature system in the body.	Disease, Vascular,Diseases, Vascular,Vascular Disease
D014689	Venous Insufficiency	Impaired venous blood flow or venous return (venous stasis), usually caused by inadequate venous valves. Venous insufficiency often occurs in the legs, and is associated with EDEMA and sometimes with VENOUS STASIS ULCERS at the ankle.	Insufficiencies, Venous,Insufficiency, Venous,Venous Insufficiencies
