Abstract
Objective: Comparison of choroid thicknesses of patients with nasal polyp with control group of healthy individuals. Material and Methods: A total of 65 patients, 32 patients with nasal polyp and 33 healthy individuals, were included in the study. Choroidal thickness was measured with Spectralis® OCT (software version 5.3, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) without dilating the pupil. Measurements were taken from the subfovea and the nasal and temporal points at a distance of 1.500 μm from the fovea central. Results: There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of age and gender (Group 1: p=0.613 and Group 2: p=0.342). The mean subfoveal choroid thickness was 322.31±75.89 in patients with nasal polyp, while it was 397.15±78.70 in the control group. No statistically significant difference was found (p=0.194). Conclusion: In our study, no significant difference was found in the comparison of choroidal thickness measurement of patients with nasal polyp and healthy volunteers.
Özet
Amaç: Nazal polipi olan hastaların koroid kalınlıklarının sağlıklı bireylerden oluşan kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, nazal polipi olan 32 hasta ve 33 sağlıklı birey olmak üzere toplam 65 hasta dâhil edildi. Koroid kalınlığı pupil dilate edilmeden Spectralis® OCT (software version 5.3, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Almanya) cihazı ile ölçüldü. Fovea santralinden ve fovea santraline 1.500 μm mesafedeki nazal ile temporal noktalardan ölçümler alındı. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş ve cinsiyet açısından 2 grup arasında fark bulunmadı (Grup 1: p=0,613 ve Grup 2: p=0,324). Ortalama subfoveal koroid kalınlığı nazal polipi olan hastalarda 322,31±75,89 iken kontrol grubunda 397,15±78,70 idi. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı (p=0,194). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, nazal polipi olan hastalarla sağlıklı gönüllü hastaların koroid kalınlık ölçümünün karşılaştırmasında anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır.
