Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in a Patient with Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 33-year-old man presented with low vision in his left eye. Best corrected visual acuity (OD: plano, OS: -7.5 diopters) was 20/20 in his right eye and counting fingers at 50 cm in the left eye. Relative afferent pupillary defect was 2+ in the left eye. Slit lamp examination was unremarkable in both eyes and intraocular pressure was within normal limits. Dilated fundus examination was normal in the right eye, but revealed a tilted disc and extensive myelinated retinal nerve fiber layer (MRNFL) involving the macula and optic nerve in the left eye (Fig. 1). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed significant hyper-reflectivity and increased thickness of the RNFL together with severe back-scattering in the same eye (Fig. 2).

The Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness is Related to Severity of Parkinson’s Disease
Introduction: We investigated correlation between the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this study, the RNFL thickness of 23 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) was compared to normal controls (NCs). PD severity was assessed by the MDS-UPDRS (movement disorder society Unified Parkinson Disea...
متن کاملClinical 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 کاملOptical Coherence Tomography and Corpus Callosum Index in Cognitive Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease of central nervous system. Different approaches have been developed to study MS progression and cognitive dysfunction as the major symptom of the disease. The current study compared Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Corpus Callosum Index (CCI) for the early evaluation of cognitive dysfunction in MS patients. Objectives: T...
