ABSTRACTAnterior communicating artery aneurysm rarely presents with symptoms of compression of anterior visual pathways. We report a case of 65 years old man, who had complete loss of vision in right eye and temporal hemianopsia in left eye due to giant anterior communicating artery aneurysm.

Today, an important issue is the problem of the prevalence of partial or complete loss of vision of the working population and its secondary pathology. The primary involvement of the cardiovascular system in the pathological process of this contingent is manifested by functional changes in hemodynamic parameters. The negative trend is exacerbated by forced hypokinesia and overweight visually impaired people. The purpose of the study was to analyze and assess the hemodynamic parameters of middle-aged people with visual pathology, to find out the possibility of expanding the choice of special means of physical therapy that increases the functional state of the cardiovascular system. Materials and methods. The study involved 54 people of middle age with disabilities and pathologies: retinal detachment, myopia with astigmatism, cataracts and glaucoma with a visual remainder of up to 10%, and persons with absolute vision loss. Copying of data from medical documentation and the subsequent analysis of the information received, examination, collection of anamnesis, instrumental methods of studying their hemodynamic parameters and methods of mathematical data processing were used. Results and discussion. In the course of complex medical examinations, grade I arterial hypertension, which was diagnosed by specialists, was found in 14.81% of people. According to the comparison of the actual blood pressure indicators with the clinical guidelines of the International Society of Hypertension (2020), 51.85% of the contingent showed "highly normal" values towards pathological changes. The tendency of a significant decrease also related to the indicators of systolic volume and minute volume of blood circulation. A low level of the body's tolerance to physical activity was established at 62.96% due to the examined patients with complete loss of vision. Conclusion. In the sanatorium-resort conditions, the program of physical therapy of the surveyed included standard means (physiotherapy exercises, massage, mechanotherapy, spatial orientation and psychocorrection). In the course of the study, to expand the existing components of the physical therapy program, the following ones were selected: hydrokinesis therapy, special corrective exercises with "fitball-aerobics" and dance therapy, health path, Scandinavian walking

ABSTRACTBlindness following a LeFort I osteotomy is a rare but extremely serious complication. Ten cases have been reported to date. None of these patients recovered vision. Optic neuropathy is believed to be the cause but the exact mechanism has not been settled. We report the first, and the only two, documented cases of complete loss of vision that recovered subsequently. The first patient was a 19-year-old male with repaired bilateral cleft lip and palate. He developed loss of vision in the right eye on the second postoperative day. The second patient was a 22-year-old male with repaired unilateral cleft lip and palate. He developed complete loss of vision in the left eye on the day of surgery. Both these patients underwent ongoing studies, which did not show any abnormalities. Both were treated with methylprednisolone. Both the patients gradually showed improvement in their vision. The first patient recovered normal vision several months postoperatively. The second patient’s vision improved to 4/60 by 4 months postoperatively. We discuss the probable mechanisms of optic nerve injury and also the possible reasons why sight was restored in these patients. This is a rare but serious complication following a fairly common procedure. Through this article we wish to create an awareness of this complication and also a possible way of avoiding such a disaster.
