To determine the prevalence of cystic macular oedema (CME) in patients with choroideremia (CHM) by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
A total 16 patients affected with CHM were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent a complete eye examination. SD-OCT was performed using an OPKO spectral-domain OCT/SLO instrument.
The average age of the study patients was 44.0 ± 16.0 years (range, 13-63 years). Out of the 16 patients with CHM, 10 patients (62.5%) showed a degree of CME on SD-OCT testing in at least one eye, and 8 patients (50%) showed CME in both eyes.
Because of its notable prevalence, it would seem prudent to screen CHM patients by SD-OCT for the possible presence of CME and to identify those amenable to future treatment strategies for their macular oedema.
通过频域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)确定脉络膜视网膜变性(CHM)患者中囊样黄斑水肿(CME)的患病率。
本研究纳入了 16 名患有 CHM 的患者。所有患者均接受了全面的眼部检查。使用 OPKO 频域 OCT/SLO 仪器进行 SD-OCT 检查。
研究患者的平均年龄为 44.0±16.0 岁(范围,13-63 岁)。在 16 名患有 CHM 的患者中,有 10 名(62.5%)在至少一只眼中的 SD-OCT 检查中显示出一定程度的 CME,有 8 名(50%)在两只眼中均显示出 CME。
鉴于其显著的患病率,通过 SD-OCT 对 CHM 患者进行 CME 筛查并确定那些对未来黄斑水肿治疗策略有反应的患者似乎是明智的。
