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 کاملOptical coherence tomography in the diagnosis and management of optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis.
Optic neuritis (ON) is an inflammatory optic nerve injury, which is strongly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to provide a reliable means of capturing axonal deficits, which can be paired to tests of visual function to provide a structural-functional paradigm of brain injury. In this respect, the eye provides a unique view into the ef...
متن کاملThe role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in optic neuritis (ON).
Axonal and neuronal degeneration are important features of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurologic disorders that affect the anterior visual pathway. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique that allows imaging of the retinal layers. Our aim was to examine retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and macular volume (MV), measred by OCT in patients with history of op...
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 کاملInterrelationship of optical coherence tomography and multifocal visual-evoked potentials after optic neuritis.
PURPOSE Acute optic neuritis (ON) is often followed by recovery of visual function. Although this recovery is mainly attributable to resolution of the acute inflammation, the redistribution of ion channels along the demyelinated membrane, and subsequent remyelination, part of it may be the result of neural plasticity. In the present study, the interrelationship was examined between structural (...
