Assessment of macular capillary perfusion in patients with inactive Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease: An optical coherence tomography angiography study
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology May 22, 2020
Karaca I, Yılmaz SG, Afrashi F, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional, observational study to evaluate macular capillary perfusion in patients with inactive Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In total, 51 patients (51 eyes) with inactive VKH (group 1, n = 23; mean ages were 39.9 ± 11.8 [range, 24–58] years) and healthy volunteers (group 2, n = 28; mean ages were 38.9 ± 8.5 [range, 29–51] years) had detailed eye examination including OCTA (RTVue-XR Avanti) scanning. Data reported that central retinal thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness were 218.2 ± 39.4 μm and 195.6 ± 28.6 μm in group 1, whereas 243.5 ± 9.7 μm and 316.7 ± 20.1 μm in group 2, respectively. In patients with inactive VKH disease, macular capillary perfusion was significantly reduced both in superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus.
