Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness in normal eyes using optical coherence tomography Materials and Methods: The study consist of 60 eyes of 30 (14 male and 16 female) patients. The choroid was imaged usinenhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (3D OCT-2000, Topcon Corp., Tokyo, Japan). Subfoveachoroidal thickness was measured from the posterior edge of the retinal pigment epithelium to the chorioscleral interface at thfovea. Two masked graders measured the subfoveal choroidal thickness and the average value was used for analysis. Results: The mean age of all patients was 50.2±18.8 years (range, 22-79 years), the mean age of male was 48.4±18.3 years anthe mean age of female was 52.3±19.4 years. The mean subfoveal choroidal thickness of all patients was 268.8±49.2 μm (rang145-390 μm), the mean subfoveal choroidal thickness of male was 291.3±53.1 μm and the mean subfoveal choroidal thickness female was 252.7±40.9 μm. The subfoveal choroid was thicker in male than female and this result was statistically significan(p=0.002). Conclusion: Subfoveal choroidal thickness is quite variable. The male have thicker subfoveal choroid than female.

Özet

Amaç: Normal gözlerde subfoveal koroid kalınlığının optik koherens tomografi (OKT) ile değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 30 hastanın (14 erkek, 16 kadın) 60 gözü dahil edildi. Koroidin görüntülenmesi spectral domain OKT (3D OCT-2000, Topcon Corp., Tokyo, Japan) ile artırılmış derinlikli görüntüleme modu kullanılarak yapıldı. Subfoveal koroid kalınlığı ölçümü foveada hiperreflektif retina pigment epitelinin dış kenarı ile koroid-sklera sınırı arasın- da yapıldı. Subfoveal koroid kalınlığı ölçümü birbirinden habersiz iki kişi tarafından yapılarak ortalaması alındı. Analiz için ortalama değer kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan bütün hastalarda ortalama yaş 50.2±18.8 yıl (yaş aralığı, 22-79 yıl), erkeklerde 48.4±18.3 yıl ve kadınlarda 52.3±19.4 yıldı. Bütün hastalarda ortalama subfoveal koroid kalınlığı 268.8±49.2 μm (145-390 μm), erkekler- de 291.3±53.1 μm ve kadınlarda 252.7±40.9 μm bulundu. Erkeklerde subfoveal koroid kalınlığı kadınlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p=0.002). Sonuç: Subfoveal koroid kalınlığı oldukça değişkendir. Erkekler kadınlara göre daha kalın subfoveal koroide sahiptir.
