OBJECTIVE
To investigate choroidal thickness using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography in paediatric patients with adenotonsillar hypertrophy, with comparison to healthy children, three months after adenotonsillectomy.
METHODS
The patients were assigned to three groups: an adenotonsillar hypertrophy group, an adenotonsillectomy group and a healthy control group. In all groups, subfoveal, temporal and nasal choroidal thickness measurements were taken.
RESULTS
In the subfoveal, temporal and nasal regions, choroidal tissue was found to be significantly thinner in adenotonsillar hypertrophy children than healthy children (p = 0.012, p = 0.027 and p = 0.020). The subfoveal and temporal choroidal thickness measurements of adenotonsillar hypertrophy group cases were significantly decreased compared to those in the adenotonsillectomy group (p = 0.038 and p = 0.048).
CONCLUSION
There was a significant association between decreased choroidal thickness and adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy may play an important role in decreased choroidal thickness.
目的
采用增强深度成像光学相干断层扫描技术，研究小儿腺样体扁桃体肥大患者的脉络膜厚度，并与健康儿童进行比较，观察腺样体扁桃体切除术后三个月的情况。
方法
将患者分为三组：腺样体扁桃体肥大组、腺样体扁桃体切除组和健康对照组。对所有组进行黄斑中心凹下、颞侧和鼻侧脉络膜厚度测量。
结果
在黄斑中心凹下、颞侧和鼻侧区域，发现腺样体扁桃体肥大儿童的脉络膜组织明显比健康儿童薄（p = 0.012、p = 0.027和p = 0.020）。与腺样体扁桃体切除组相比，腺样体扁桃体肥大组病例的黄斑中心凹下和颞侧脉络膜厚度测量值显著降低（p = 0.038和p = 0.048）。
结论
脉络膜厚度降低与腺样体扁桃体肥大之间存在显著关联。腺样体扁桃体肥大可能在脉络膜厚度降低中起重要作用。
