THE OCULAR manifestations of patients with ischemic cerebral disease have become more significant in the evaluation of the cerebral circulation.^1-3 The consequences of complete retinal anoxia caused by total occlusion of the central retinal vessels are less important and revealing than the effects of a more chronic and subtle type of hypoxia.¹ Perhaps the most striking example of chronic occlusive disease within the group of aortic arch syndromes³ is pulseless disease (Takayasu-Ohnishi's disease). Although the ocular manifestations of the disease are well known,^3,4-8 the only report available on the histopathologic changes observed in the eyes is that of Dowling and Smith,⁹ who reported their findings in flat preparations of the retina. This report describes the histopathologic findings in a pair of eyes from a patient who died of pulseless disease.
