Spontaneous Venous Pulsations (Photo)

This photo shows an optic nerve in an eye that had suffered from ocular ischemia. The veins leading into the nerve are enlarged, especially the large one at the bottom of the cup.
This created fantastic venous pulsations which you can see in the venous pulsations video from which this snapshot was taken.

Hi,
Thanks for the interesting video. I can see the veins dilated, which is a classical sign of OIS. The arteries look much attenuated and these pulsations seem to originate rather from the retinal artery, which is another typical sign of severe ocular blood flow compromise.
