Spectral Domain OCT: An Aid to Diagnosis and Surgical Planning of Retinal Detachments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regmatogenous retinal detachments need prompt intervention particularly when macula is on. Unfortunately this is not always easy to ascertain clinically and the chronicity of the event is often muddled in patient's histories. Developments in optical coherence tomography (OCT) have allowed high-resolution axial scans which have enabled the characterisation of retinal changes in retinal detachments. In this paper, we show the changes in retinal morphology observed by spectral domain OCT and how this can be used to plan appropriate surgical intervention.

Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The modalities to diagnose AD are generally expensive and limited. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the retina are derived from the cranial neural crest; therefore, changes in retinal layers may reflect changes in the CNS tissue. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine can show delicate retinal layer...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with macular epiretinal membrane (ERM) for the planning of surgical strategy. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-three eyes of 121 patients (49 men, 72 women; mean age, 66 years) with an idiopathic ERM were enrolled. All patients underwent an ophthalmic exa...

MARCH 2010 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 43 W hen spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) hit the ophthalmic arena, I thought the images were impressive. I felt confident, however, that my ability to examine the retina at the slit lamp was good enough that I could directly visualize important pathology without this new technology. OCT appeared to be useful for relatively rar...
متن کاملSecondary retinal changes associated with choroidal naevi and melanomas documented by optical coherence tomography.
AIMS To establish the characteristics of secondary retinal changes associated with the presence of choroidal melanomas and choroidal naevi as documented by optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Twenty patients with untreated choroidal melanoma and 40 patients with presumed choroidal naevi managed by regular observation were included in the study. OCT scans across the surface of the tumo...

w e all use spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) as a critical tool in preoperative planning for our most routine surgical cases like macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and vitreomacular traction. After our case is completed, we can see the result with SD-OCT: a closed macular hole, removed epiretinal membrane (ERM), and release of macular traction with foveal relaxation. But...
