Identifying and understanding optical coherence tomography artifacts that may be confused with glaucoma

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Optical coherence tomography is often used for detection of glaucoma as well as to monitor progression. This paper reviews the most common types of artifacts on the optical coherence tomography report that may be confused with glaucomatous damage. We mainly focus on anatomy-related artifacts in ...

Optical coherence tomography angiography findings in patients with ocular and non-ocular Behcet disease

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 84 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Purposes: To evaluate the optical coherence tomography angiography findings in patients with Behçet disease with and without ocular involvement. Methods: A total of 40 patients with Behçet disease and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Retinal vessel density in the superficial c...

Evaluation of choroidal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with unilateral amblyopia: a prospective study

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL) of amblyopic and normal fellow eyes. Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational case series. Methods: Forty patients age 12 to 41 years (mean 23.73 ± 6.42) with unilateral ambl...

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 77 (3), 2018
Resumo Objetivo: O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar o perfil de aplicações intravítreas do Ranibizumab em uma população de adultos atendidos no Instituto Benjamin Constant, no ano de 2015, levando em consideração o efeito sobre a acuidade visual e a espessura macular após tratamento. O objetiv...

Evaluation of a birth-related foveal hemorrhage in an infant using optical coherence tomography

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT During the routine ophthalmologic examination of a 38-day old female infant, indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed a dense hemorrhage on the fovea and a couple of superficial hemorrhages in the nasal retina of the left eye. No hemorrhage was observed in the right eye. A hand-held spectral domain opti...

Structure-functional correlation using adaptive optics, OCT, and microperimetry in a case of occult macular dystrophy

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT We report retinal functional and structural changes of a 40-year-old man diagnosed with occult macular dystrophy. Comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation was performed, followed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OC - Heidelberg) and image acquisition using an adaptive optics ...

Incidence of anterior segment neovascularization during intravitreal treatment for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: To analyze the effects of injections of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) on the incidence rates of anterior segment neovascularization (ASN) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occ...

Choroidal thickness variation in highly myopic eyes during the water drinking test

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate variations in choroidal thickness (CT) during the water drinking test (WDT) in emmetropic eyes (EE) and highly myopic eyes (ME) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: Clinical trial performed at a tertiary care hospital comprising 30 randomly...

Choroidal changes in pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and the postpartum period: comparison with healthy pregnancy

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in patients with pre-eclampsia using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods: A sample of 73 pregnant women was studied over 28 weeks of gestation. The sample was divided into two groups: one comprising...

Intravitreal bevacizumab therapy for idiophatic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis associated with serous macular detachment

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 73 (1), 2014
The authors describe a 50-year-old woman with group 2 juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis and macular detachment treated with a single-dose of intravitreous bevacizumab injection. There was an improvement in her visual acuity, with a decrease in retinal thickness showed by the optical coherence tomograp...
