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...

Enfermedades sistémicas y glaucoma
Systemic diseases and glaucoma

Rev. cuba. oftalmol; 33 (4), 2020
El glaucoma, considerado el ladrón silencioso de la visión, es la segunda causa de ceguera irreversible en el mundo. A pesar de los avances científicos y tecnológicos no se ha encontrado una cura definitiva para esta enfermedad. Lo más evidente ha sido el control adecuado de los valores de presión ...

Tomografía de coherencia óptica macular en el diagnóstico y seguimiento del glaucoma
Macular optical coherence tomography in glaucoma diagnosis and follow-up

Rev. cuba. oftalmol; 33 (4), 2020
El glaucoma es una neuropatía óptica caracterizada por la pérdida de células ganglionares de la retina y sus axones. Constituye la primera causa de ceguera irreversible a nivel mundial; por lo tanto, la detección oportuna y el monitoreo continuo es de vital importancia. El grosor de la capa de la fi...

Utilidad de la tomografía de coherencia óptica macular en pacientes con glaucoma y alta miopía
Usefulness of macular optical coherence tomography for patients with glaucoma and high myopia

Rev. cuba. oftalmol; 33 (4), 2020
RESUMEN El glaucoma es una neuropatía óptica caracterizada por la pérdida de células ganglionares de la retina y sus axones. Se presentan dos casos clínicos, ambos miopes con sospecha de glaucoma, con el objetivo de valorar la importancia del análisis de las células ganglionares en el diagnóstico...

Assessment of intraocular pressure, macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer, and ganglion cell layer thicknesses: ocular parameters and optical coherence tomography findings in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Objective: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) and macular, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and ganglion cell layer (GCL) thicknesses in treatment-naive children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), children with ADHD on regular methylphenidate (MPH) treatment for at least 3 months, ...

Optical coherence tomography findings in bipolar disorder: a preliminary receiver operating characteristic analysis on ganglion cell layer volume for diagnosis

Abstract Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been recently used to investigate neuropsychiatric disorders. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) volume in patients with type 1 bipolar disorder (BP...

Comparison of optical coherence tomographic findings between Behcet disease patients with and without ocular involvement and healthy subjects

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 80 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, and the choroid thickness between patients with Behcet disease and healthy subjects by using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: Ninety eyes of 45 healthy subject...

Retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell complex, and choroidal thicknesses in migraine

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the thicknesses of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCL), and choroid layer using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for investigating the effects of vascular changes on the eye and optic nerve in patients who hav...

Ganglionic cells apoptosis in retinal layer of rat offspring due to gestational diabetes

Int. j. morphol; 32 (4), 2014
Previous studies have shown the adverse effects of gestational diabetes on hippocampal neuronal density in animal models. This study was conducted to determine the effect of gestational diabetes on retinal ganglionic cell density, the thickness of the retinal layer and apoptotic ganglionic cell density i...
