Evaluating the Use of Optical Coherence Tomography in Optic Neuritis
Optic neuritis (ON) is an inflammatory optic nerve injury, which is strongly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Axonal damage in the optic nerve manifests as retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) deficits, which can be readily quantified with optical coherence tomography (OCT). The RNFL represents the most proximal region of the afferent visual pathway; and, as such, is a unique region of the ...
متن کاملAcute demyelinating optic neuritis.
Acute demyelinating optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of inflammation of the optic nerve. The Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT) has provided important clinical data on the use of corticosteroids, and demonstrated that patients with characteristic inflammatory lesions within the brain on magnetic resonance imaging had a greater chance of developi...
متن کاملUtility Of Optical Coherence Tomography In The Evaluation Of Patients With Ethambutol-Induced Optic Neuropathy
In this study, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to evaluate retinal thickness in two patients with optic neuropathy who had recently discontinued ethambutol. OCT was used to measure retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and to map the RNFL, ganglion cell layer (GCL), and inner plexiform layer (IPL). Decreased RNFL thickness was observed in one case. However, the combined RNFL, G...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography angiography in eyes with good visual acuity recovery after treatment for optic neuritis
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the retinal perfusion using optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography in eyes with good visual acuity recovery after treatment for optic neuritis (ON). METHODS Seven eyes of seven patients with good visual acuity recovery after treatment for monocular ON and seven eyes of each fellow eye used as controls were studied. Retinal perfusion around the disc and at the mac...
متن کاملEvaluation of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings in Patients with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
Purpose: To analyze the correlation of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings with visual acuity (VA) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 20 eyes of 20 patients with unilateral BRVO involving the macula referred to the ophthalmology clinic of Rassoul Akram Hospital. OCTA imaging was conducted for all patie...
