Abstract
Aim: To evaluate macular thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in pediatric patients with primary malnutrition.Material and Methods: Macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses of 90 pediatric patients with primary malnutritionwere measured by spectral field optical coherence tomography. These findings were compared with the data of 50 age-matchedhealthy children.Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, gender and refractive status between the groups. In theprimary malnutrition group, 17 of 90 patients had decreased retinal nerve fiber layer values. There were no patients with decreasedretinal nerve fiber layer values in the control group and this difference was statistically significant (p
