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...

Background: optical coherence tomography is one of the most valuable imaging techniques in the evaluation of macula. Objective: to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of OCT in measuring the macular thickness in normal eyes before and after pupil dilation. Methods: A total of 44 eyes were enrolled. All subjects underwent macular thickness measurement using the Cirrus SD-OCT ma...
متن کاملSpontaneous closure of stage IV idiopathic full-thickness macular hole and late reopening as a lamellar macular hole: a case report
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous closure of traumatic macular holes is described as a common event in the peer-reviewed literature. However, the spontaneous closure of stage III and IV full-thickness idiopathic macular holes has been reported in less than 15 cases in the literature, this being an extremely rare event, with their reopening being even more infrequent. We report a case of a spontaneous cl...
متن کاملSpontaneous closure and quick reopening of a full thickness idiopathic macular hole
Purpose: To report a quick reopening of a spontaneously closed full thickness macular hole. Design: Case report. Methods: A 68-year-old patient with stage III full thickness idiopathic macular hole in one eye was followed up for thirteen months with fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: Twelve days after the first examination, that detected the macular hole, OCT sc...
