Recent advances and future directions on the use of optical coherence tomography in neuro-ophthalmology.

摘要: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging technique used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze various layers of the retina. OCT retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) ganglion cell-inner plexiform (GCIPL) particularly useful in neuro-ophthalmology for evaluation patients with optic neuropathies retrochiasmal visual pathway disorders. allows an objective quantification edema atrophy RNFL GCIPL, which may be evident before obvious clinical signs dysfunction develop. Enhanced depth visualization deep structures has emerged as gold standard detection disc drusen. In compressive neuropathies, GCIPL thicknesses have been established most important prognostic factor. There increasing evidence that inclusion part diagnostic criteria multiple sclerosis (MS) increases its sensitivity. Moreover, helpful early monitoring treatment conditions such MS Alzheimer's disease. aspect neuro-ophthalmologic assessment use likely increase moving forward.
