Abstract

The aim of the present study was to accurately measure the diameter of the ophthalmic artery (OA) and investigate whether bilateral variations in diameter can be recorded in relation to patient age and sex. A retrospective study including 80 computed tomography angiographic (CTA) examinations and a total of 160 arteries was conducted to demonstrate the morphometric aspects of the OAs analyzed bilaterally by CTA examinations, while considering the references of the internal carotid artery (ICA) caliber. Precise measurements performed on the OA and the ICA below and above the ophthalmic emergence revealed an OA diameter of 1.38±0.24 mm and a narrowing of the ICA between the origin of the OA of 1.5±0.25 mm. Variations in the OA and the ICA calibers were studied in subjects with normal cervical vasculature on CTA. After a thorough statistical study, variations in OA and ICA caliber on each side were identified, between both sex and age‑related groups, revealing morphometric parameters of the OA in relation to the ICA.
