Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective is to evaluate the prevalence of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. retrospectively analyzed 7,856 patients at our hospital for health screening during the 1-year period. All patients, including 4,421 men and 3,435 women, were analyzed using fundus photographs. The overall prevalence of myelinated retinal nerve fibers was found to be 0.47% (37/7,856). Out of 37 patients with myelinated nerve fibers, 23 were men (23/4,421; 0.52%), and 14 were women (14/3,435; 0.40%). Among the 37 patients, 27 had unilateral and 10 had bilateral. In addition, 28 were located around the vascular arcades, while nine were located at peripapillary region. Among the patients who underwent health screening, the prevalence of myelinated retinal nerve fibers was found to be 0.47%. These results may aid in explaining clinically rare conditions. Keywords: myelinated retinal nerve fibers, health screening.
