ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the macular retinal thickness and volume in patients with different degrees of Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Thirty eyes of 30 patients with primary PD and 20 eyes of 20 healthy subjects (control group) in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from October 2016 to October 2017 were enrolled in this study.There were 17 males and 13 females,with the mean age of 63.2±6.4 years and disease course of 3.9± 2.4 years.The patients were divided into mild to moderate PD group (15 eyes of 15 patients) and severe PD group (15 eyes of 15 patients).The macular area was automatically divided into 3 concentric circles by software,which were foveal area with a diameter of 1 mm (inner ring),middle ring of 1 to 3 mm,and outer ring of 3 to 6 mm.The middle and outer ring were divided into 4 quadrants by 2 radiations,respectively.The changes of retinal thickness and macular volume of the macular center and its surrounding quadrants were analyzed.SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis.One-way ANOVA were used to analyze all data.Results Compared with the control group,the retinal thickness and volume in macular center and each quadrant of the mild to moderate PD group and severe PD group were reduced.Compared with the mild to moderate PD group,the retinal thickness and volume in macular center and each quadrant of the severe PD group were reduced.The differences of retinal thickness and macular volume among 3 groups were significant (F=5.794,5.221,5.586,5.302,5.926,5.319,5.404,5.261,5.603;P=0.001,0.007,0.003,0.005,0.000,0.004,0.004,0.006,0.002).In inner ring of the mild to moderate PD group and the severe PD group,the retinal thickness and macular volume in the upper and the nasal were the largest,the inferior was followed,and the temporal was the smallest.In outer ring of the mild to moderate PD group and the severe PD group,the retinal thickness and macular volume in the nasal was the largest,the upper was the second,the temporal and the inferior were the smallest.Conclusions The retinal thickness and volume of the macular central fovea and its surrounding areas in PD patients are significantly thinner than that in the healthy subjects.And with the increase of the severity of PD,the macular structure changes obviously,showing macular center and its surrounding macular degeneration thin,macular volume reduced.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the macular morphology and circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) evaluated by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods A total of 37 patients (74 eyes) with PD were in the PD group, 32 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects (64 eyes) in the control group. All subjects underwent SD-OCT examination with 5 line scanning, macular cube 512×128 scanning and optic disc volume 200×200 scanning. The retinal thickness, central foveal thickness (CFT), macular volume and thickness of circumpapillary, superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal of RNFL between two groups were comparatively analyzed. The relationship between SD-OCT parameters and age, disease duration, scores of Hoehn-Yahr and unified PD rating scale (UPDRS) in PD patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results Both of the retinal thickness and macular volume in PD group were significantly reduced than those in control group (t=?2.546,?3.410;P=0.012, 0.001). There was no difference of CFT (t=?0.463, P=0.644) and the thickness of circumpapillary (t=?1.645, P=0.102), superior (t=?0.775, P=0.439), inferior (t=?1.844, P=0.067), nasal (t=?0.344, P=0.732) and temporal (t=?0.541, P=0.590) of RNFL between two groups. The retinal thickness, macular volume, CFT and the thickness of circumpapillary, superior, inferior, nasal, temporal of RNFL had no relationship with age, disease duration and scores of Hoehn-Yahr and UPDRS in PD patients (P>0.05). Conclusions In PD patients, the retinal thickness and macular volume are decreased, however, the circumpapillary RNFL have no obvious alterations.
ABSTRACT
Fundus photograph,angiography,optical coherence tomography,ultrasonography and other image technology and visual electrophysiology can provide a wealth of information for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric retinal diseases.However,it put forward higher requirements on pediatric retinal imaging equipment and techniques which will be quite different from adult,because of pediatric retinal disease has its own characteristics,such as disease spectrum,pathogenesis,and pathophysiology.The principles and methods of image results interpretation on adult were not quite ready for children.It is necessary to further study the fundus imaging techniques suitable for children,gradually establish standardized examination procedures and clinical interpretation system,to promote the diagnosis of retinopathy in children.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: Register and compare anatomical changes, structural and quantitative found in optical coherence tomography Stratus and Topcon 3D in chronic users of chloroquine. Methods: Five patients were diagnosed with toxic "bull's eye" maculopathy was submitted to macular optical coherence tomography examination (Stratus and Topcon 3D). Results: Both tools demonstrated an increase reflectivity of choriocapillaris unit just foveal retinal pigment epithelium atrophy. However, Topcon 3D provided to all patients better description of the line corresponding to the transition between inner and outer segments of photoreceptors. Using the possibility of assembling threedimensional images and subtraction selective retinal layers, we found a lesion with a target that reflects the greater thickness of retinal pigment epithelium in central and parafoveal region that is matched to preserve macular photoreceptors. Conclusion: it was observed better resolution and faster image capture by Topcon 3D than Stratus OCT, that provided more detailed analysis of the line corresponding to transition between outer and inner segment of photoreceptors in macular region. With Topcon 3D, it was possible to evaluate soundly the thickness of retinal pigment epithelium in central and parafoveal region that caused an increase reflectivity of choriocapillaris creating a image with a target unpublished before. .
Objetivo: Comparar e registrar as alterações quantitativas e qualitavivas na tomografia de coerência óptica nos pacientes com uso prolongado de cloroquina. Métodos: Avaliaram-se cinco pacientes com diagnóstico de bull’s eye no exame de tomografia de coerência óptica macular com dois modelos de aparelhos: Stratus e Topcon 3D. Resultados: Ambos aparelhos registraram aumento da refletividade coriocapilar foveal provocada pela atrofia do epitélio pigmentar da retina. Somente o Topcon 3D permitiu melhor visibilização da linha de transição entre o segmento interno e externo dos fotorreceptores. Este aparelho também permitiu a formação de imagens tridimensionais e subtração das camadas retinianas, com registro da diminuição da espessura do epitélio pigmentado da retina na região central e parafoveal macular. Conclusão: Foi possível observar a captação mais rápida e com melhor resolução das imagens geradas pelo Topcon 3D. A diminuição da espessura do epitélio pigmentado da retina, provocando o aumento da refletividade coriocapilar, com a formação de uma imagem linear circular cincundando a fóvea, foi mais detalhado pelos cortes realizados no Topcon 3D. .

Objective To observe the changes of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and its correlation with visual field mean defects(MD)in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Fifteen eyes of 15 PD patients in early stage and 18 eyes of 18 normal controls undertook RNFL examination by Stratus OCT-3. Circular scans (diameter is 3. 46 mm) were taken around the optic nerve head including eight quadrants (superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior, nasal-superior and nasalinferior). The RNFL thickness in different quadrants in the two groups was analyzed. The visual field of PD patients was measured by central 30-2 program of Humphery750 visual field analyzer, and the MD was recorded. The correlation between RNFL thickness and MD was analyzed by linear correlation and regression analysis. Results RNFL thicknesses of superior, inferior, temporal, nasal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior, nasal-superior, nasal-inferior and average RNFL thickness in the control group were (132.7±17.4), (141. 5±15. 3),(83. 2±17. 5), (83.7±22.3) ,(120.8±21.2), (117. 9±24.5) ,(109.6±20. 6),(110.2±27.7), and(109. 9±8. 5) μm respectively, while in the PD group they were (128.1±25.3),(128. 6±13. 2),(68. 7±13. 5),(76. 5±17. 8),(102. 6±23. 7), (103.3±14.1) ,(101.2±20.9),(96.6±15.0),(102.3±11.9) μm . Compared with each other, the differences of RNFL thickness of inferior, temporal, temporal-superior, temporal-inferior and average RNFL thickness were statistically significant (t = 2. 595, 2. 700, 2. 330, 2. 153,2. 131;P = 0. 014, 0. 011, 0. 026, 0. 040, 0. 041). There was a close negative relationship between average RNFL thickness and MD in PD patients (r= -0. 933, P<0. 0001). Conclusions RNFL thickness was significantly thinner in PD patients than that in the normal controls. There was a negative relationship between RNFL thickness and MD in PD patients.
