Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Optic Disc; an Overview

چکیده
Different diseases of the optic disc may be caused by or lead to abnormal vasculature at the optic nerve head. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel technology that provides high resolution mapping of the retinal and optic disc vessels. Recent studies have shown the ability of OCTA to visualize vascular abnormalities in different optic neuropathies. In addition, quantified OCTA measurements were found promising for differentiating optic neuropathies from healthy eyes.

Clinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
متن کاملReproducibility of Perfusion Parameters of Optic Disc and Macula in Rhesus Monkeys by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is a novel technique by which we can detect the local perfusion of fundus directly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of optic disc and macular flow perfusion parameters in rhesus monkeys using OCT angiography. METHODS Eighteen healthy monkeys (18 eyes) were subjected to optic disc and macula flow index measurem...

DESIGN Observational, cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-four normal subjects and 11 patients with glaucoma were included. METHODS One eye of each subject was scanned by a high-speed ...
متن کاملPeripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Optic Pit in a Case of High Myopia and Glaucoma
Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (choroidal schisis) and optic pit in a case of high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Case report: A 30-year-old high myopic man was referred to our clinic for presumed peripapillary choroidal tumors. In funduscopy, there were two yellow-orange and slightly elevated peripapillary lesions in both eyes with indistinct margins. A s...

PURPOSE We present the case of a young woman with optic disc drusen and peripheral vasculitis. METHODS Diagnosis was based on fundoscopic, optical coherence tomography as well as fluorescein angiography (FA) findings. RESULTS An asymptomatic 34-year-old female patient with no systemic pathology was referred to our hospital from her optician for retinal findings. Fundoscopy revealed mild dis...
