Long-term visual and anatomic outcomes of patients with peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome
British Journal of Ophthalmology Jan 06, 2021
Xu D, Garg E, Lee K, et al. - Through retrospectively involving patients from several retina centres worldwide, researchers sought to analyze the long-term anatomic and visual outcomes of patients with peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS), a recently described entity in the pachychoroid disease spectrum. Visual acuity, retinal thickness and choroidal thickness at baseline, 6 months and final follow-up have been evaluated. Thirty-five patients (56 eyes) with a mean follow-up of 27 ± 17 months were included. Throughout the course of the disease, PPS patients experienced reduced retinal oedema and reduced choroidal thickening. Although visual decline occurred in some patients, the overall visual outcome was relatively favourable and independent of retinal or choroidal thickening trends.
