Increased Macrophage-like Cell Density in Retinal Vein Occlusion as Characterized by en Face Optical Coherence Tomography
Objectives: to quantitatively analyze macrophage-like cells (MLCs) at the vitreoretinal interface in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) and en face optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: The study included 72 RVO patients, with 43...

description | Objectives: to quantitatively analyze macrophage-like cells (MLCs) at the vitreoretinal interface in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) and en face optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: The study included 72 RVO patients, with 43 acute patients and 29 chronic patients. For a normal control, 64 fellow eyes were included. MLCs were visualized in a 5 μm en face OCT slab above the vitreoretinal interface centered on the fovea. After semi-automatic binarization and quantification, we evaluated the MLC count and density among groups. We also investigated the MLC density and distribution relative to retinal edema. Results: Morphological changes and congregation of MLCs appeared in RVO eyes. The MLC density of both the acute and chronic groups was significantly higher than that of the control eyes (p < 0.001). In the acute group, the MLC density of the edematous region was lower than both the non-edematous region (p < 0.001) and the whole image (p < 0.01). The MLC density in acute eyes was negatively correlated to central fovea thickness (CFT) (r = −0.352, p < 0.05). The MLC density in chronic eyes was positively correlated to CFT and mean retina thickness (MRT) (r = 0.406, p < 0.05; r = 0.412, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: SS-OCTA is a viable and simple method for the characterization of MLCs at the vitreoretinal interface. A significant increase in the MLC density in both acute and chronic eyes implicates the activation and recruitment of MLCs in RVO and that the MLC density and distribution can be affected by retinal edema. |
