Relationship between changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measured by SD-OCT and changes in visual field parameters in birdshot chorioretinopathy

Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Apr 05, 2021

Aurélia G, Lucile C, José L, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to characterize the structure-function relationship in birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) using visual field data and peri-papillary retinal nerve fiber thickness (RNFL). In total, 21 patients (34 eyes) with BSCR were assessed prospectively from 2014 to 2018 (IMAGE-EYE cohort). Fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography were among the anatomical tests performed. During the follow-up, the authors discovered a subtle structural deterioration of the optic nerve (RNFL), but not of the visual field. The significant link between structural (RNFL thickness) and functional measures (mean deviation) supports the idea that RNFL thickness measurements may be useful for mid-term monitoring of BSCR patients.
