Histamine in central retinal artery occlusion. Namburger (Zeit. f. Aug., Bd. 62)

Abstract

The author suggests injecting a concentrated solution of histamine into the eye or injecting a solution of 1:1000 in 2 divisions for the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion. Without denying the beneficial effect of anterior chamber puncture, optic nerve massage with a tenotomy hook, etc., the author seeks, by the suggested method, without disturbing the integrity of the eye tissues, to cause the active hyperemia required here and affect the collateral circulation through the cilioretinal vessels.
