[PSYCHOGENIC FACTORS IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ANTERIOR ISCHEMIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY (REVIEW)].

The purpose of this systematic review is to describe the influence of psychogenic factors on the pathogenesis and course of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). Analysis of randomized clinical trials published in the journal indexed in PubMed in the period from 1978 to 2016, devoted to the study of the influence of various factors on the epidemiology, pathogenesis and course of AION. The review of the literature presents basic information on the psychogenic factors that affect the course of AION and the areas of clinical application of the data under study. Physiological and pathological ways of influence of psychogenic factors on regulation of angiogenesis are considered. The main properties of the disturbance of retinal microcirculation, the role in the regulation of the vascular bed in the norm and under the influence of psychogenic factors in patients with AION are described.
