III. Episcleral Arteriovenous Anastomoses in the Rhesus Monkey Eye (Macaca mulatta)

Douglas E. Gaasterland, MD; Vicente L. Jocson, MD; Marvin L. Sears, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1970;84(6):770-775.

Abstract
Arteriovenous anastomotic vessels in the anterior episcleral vessel network of 32 rhesus monkey eyes were delineated with 3% silver nitrate, India ink-gelatin mixture, and colored, room-temperature vulcanizing liquid silicone compound. These vessels have inside diameters of 10µ to 30µ and have muscular walls either throughout their entire length or for a short distance near their arterial origin. They usually follow a fairly direct course from artery to vein and are capable of shunting fluid flow at physiologic pressures.
