Peripheral ophthalmic artery aneurysm. Report of two cases

J Neurosurg. 2001 May;94(5):822-5. doi: 10.3171/jns.2001.94.5.0822.

Abstract

The authors report on two patients with peripheral ophthalmic artery (OphA) aneurysms and demonstrate the mechanism by which these lesions are formed by using OphA color Doppler flow velocimetry imaging. During formation of these two aneurysms, the hemodynamic stress on the OphA was quite significant.
