Characteristic analysis of Spectral Domain OCT Pattern Of Macular Edema In Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion Nepalese Patients
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim : To study spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) characteristics of retinal layers in branch retinal vein occlusion. Methods: 30 patients with branch retinal vein occlusion attending vitro retina clinic in a tertiary eye hospital were studied with SD-OCT . Integrity of inner segment outer segment junction, External limiting membrane, central retinal thickness and presence or absence of serous macular detachment were analysed. Results:24 (80%) patients had disrupted photoreceptor Inner Segment Outer Segment(IS/OS) integrity. External Limiting Membrane was disrupted in 66.66% patients ( n=20). Cystoid Macular Edema was present in 53.33% patients(n=16). Average central retinal thickness was 432.9 μm. Conclusions: Spectral domain oct characteristics can help to detect the changes in various retina layers and thus predict the visual outcome in patients with macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion.
