Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Optic Nerve Traction During Adduction in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma With Normal Intraocular Pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 PurposeWe used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to ascertain effects of optic nerve (ON) traction in adduction, a phenomenon proposed as neuropathic in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).MethodsSeventeen patients with POAG and maximal IOP ≤ 20 mm Hg, and

Is “normal tension glaucoma” glaucoma?
Medical Hypotheses, 2019 Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) represents a distinct disease entity with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) as the main risk factor, even though the reasons for why the IOP is elevated remains to be elucidated. It is considered that normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is a subtype of POAG, comprising a special form of glaucomatous neurodegeneration or ...
