Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the peripapillary choroidal thickness in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. Material and Method: 99 eyes of 54 patients with with primary open angle glaucoma and 98 eyes of 48 healthy subjects without any ocular pathologies were included. Peripapillary choroidal thickness was measured from 6 mm length radial B scans at the optic nerve head by the spectral domain optical coherence tomography device, using the enhanced depth imaging technique. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, Inc. 17.0 software and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The peripapillary choroidal thicknesses (average, temporal, nasal, superior, inferior) were significantly lower in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (p=0.001). There was no significant difference of peripapillary choroidal thickness between early, moderate and severe glaucoma among patients with primary open angle glaucoma. Conclusion: Peripapillary choroidal thickness was significantly reduced in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma based on the enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography measurements in vivo.
Özet
Amaç: Primer açık açılı glokom hastalarında peripapiller koroid kalınlığının değerlendirilmesi.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya primer açık açılı glokom tanılı 54 olgunun 99 gözü ve oküler patolojisi olmayan sağlıklı 49 olgunun 98 gözü dahil edildi. Peripapiller koroid kalınlığı ölçümü spektral domain optik koherans tomografi cihazı ile artırılmış derinlikli görüntüleme modu kullanılarak, 6 mm uzunluğunda radyal B taramalardan yapıldı. Elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel analizi Statistical Package for SocialScience, Inc. 17.0 programı kullanılarak yapıldı ve p 0,05). Sonuç: İn vivo artırılmış derinlikli görüntüleme optik koherans tomografi ölçümlerine dayalı peripapiller koroid kalınlığı, primer açık açılıglokom olgularında anlamlı düzeyde azalmıştır.
