Optical coherence tomography in clinically isolated syndrome: no evidence of subclinical retinal axonal loss.
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography has emerged as a new tool for quantifying axonal loss in multiple sclerosis (MS). A reduction in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is correlated with Expanded Disability Status Scale score and brain atrophy. OBJECTIVE To investigate RNFL and macular volume measurements using optical coherence tomography in the clinically isolated syndrome popul...
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 in congenital Zika syndrome.
Dear Editor: I read with interest the article by Campos et al. on optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in congenital Zika virus infection or congenital Zika syndrome (CZS). Six months after the onset of a Zika virus outbreak, there was an unusual 20-fold increase in microcephaly cases in newborns in Brazil. Ventura et al. were the first to report ocular involvement in CZS in the form of ...
متن کاملClinically Isolated Syndromes Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a simple, high-resolution technique to quantify the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), which provides an indirect measurement of axonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to evaluate RNFL thickness in patients at presentation with clinically isolated syndromes (CIS) suggestive of MS. METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sec...
متن کاملExperimental Visualization of Labyrinthine Structure with Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction:Visualization of inner ear structures is a valuable strategy for researchers and clinicians working on hearing pathologies. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology which may be used for the visualization of tissues. In this experimental study we aimed to evaluate inner ear anatomy in well-prepared human labyrinthine bones.Materials and Methods:Thr...
