[Ulrich oculo-oscillodynamography in carotid artery stenosis and temporal arteritis].

Oculo-oscillodynamography (OODG) after Ulrich was performed on 21 patients suffering from unilateral hemodynamically relevant carotid stenosis. In ten patients the perfusion pressure was low on the affected side. In the other eleven patients there was no difference between the two sides and these patients were thought to have well-developed collateral anastomoses. In nine patients with temporal arteriitis low perfusion pressure was found by OODG on the side with the lower visual acuity. After systemic therapy with corticosteroids the perfusion pressure normalized on both sides.
