Publication: Retinitis Pigmentoza Olgularında Subfoveal Koroid Kalınlığı
Abstract
Amaç: Retinitis pigmentoza olgularında subfoveal koroid kalınlığının değerlendirilmesi ve görme keskinliği ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesi.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Merkezi, temporal ve nazal subfoveal koroid kalınlığı spektral domain optik koherens tomografisi (OKT) RTVue 100 5.1 (Optovue Inc. Fremont, Kanada) cihazının EDI programı kullanılarak ölçüldü.Bulgular: Retinitis pigmentoza tanısı almış 48 olgu ile sağlıklı 37 kişinin koroid kalınlığı sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Retinitis pigmentoza hastalarında merkezi, temporal ve nazal alanlarda subfoveal koroid kalınlığı sağlıklı kontrollere göre anlamlı olarak daha ince gözlenmiştir. (p< 0.001, hepsinde). Merkezi, temporal ve nazal alanlardaki subfoveal koroid kalınlığı ile görme keskinliği rasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç: Retinitis pigmentozada subfoveal koroid kalınlığı sağlıklı kişilerle karşılaştırıldığında incelmektedir. Ancak bu incelme görme keskinliği ile korelasyon göstermemektedir. Koroid kalınlığı, retinitis pigmentozanın tedavisine yönelik araştırmalarda tedavinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesinde veya suprakoroidal retinal protez için uygun hastaların seçiminde faydalı olabilir.
Purpose: To evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness in retinitis pigmentosa cases and to assess its relationship with visual acuity.Materials and Methods: The central, temporal and nasal subfoveal choroidal thickness was measured with the EDI software of spectral domain optic coherence tomography (OCT) RTVue 100 5.1 (Optovue Inc. Fremont, Canada) Results: The choroidal thickness results of 48 cases diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and 37 healthy individuals were compared. The central, temporal and nasal subfoveal choroidal thickness in retina pigmentosa patients were significantly thinner than the healthy controls. (p< 0.001, all). Visual aquities did not show any corelation with the choroidal thickness at nasal, temporal and macular area.Conclusion: The choroidal thickness results of 48 cases diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and 37 healthy individuals were compared. The central, temporal and nasal subfoveal choroidal thickness in retinitis pigmentosa patients were significantly thinner than the healthy controls. (p< 0.001, all). The subfoveal choroidal thickness in three regions were observed no correlation between the visual acuity.
