Relationship between Optical Intensity on Optical Coherence Tomography and Retinal Ischemia in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) may be complicated with retinal ischemia in some cases. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the relationship between optical intensity on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal ischemia in BRVO. Twenty-seven eyes diagnosed with BRVO without...

description | Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) may be complicated with retinal ischemia in some cases. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the relationship between optical intensity on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and retinal ischemia in BRVO. Twenty-seven eyes diagnosed with BRVO without macular edema were classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of retinal ischemia. The optical intensity of inner retinal layers and photoreceptor inner segment ellipsoid zone/retinal pigment epithelium layer (ISe/RPE) in the affected and unaffected regions were measured on OCT. Their ratio (Optical intensity ratio, OIR) was calculated and compared between affected and unaffected region. In the retinal ischemia group, the optical intensity of inner retinal layers was higher in the affected region compared to the unaffected region while the optical intensity of ISe/RPE was low. The OIR was significantly higher in the affected region compared to control (0.83 ± 0.17 vs 0.68 ± 0.09, p < 0.001). However, in the non-ischemic group, there was no significant difference between the affected and unaffected region. The BCVA was moderately correlated with OIR of affected region (r = 0.489, p = 0.010). Our study suggests that optical intensity ratio on OCT is correlated with retinal ischemia in BRVO. |
