This study analyzed the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) macular parameters in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients after acute primary angle closure (APAC) episodes. Thirty-three patients with 33 APAC eyes and 33 primary angle closure suspect (PACS) eyes and 33 age-matched normal subjects (controls) were enrolled. Macular vessel density (VD) in central, inner, outer and full regions and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters (area, perimeter and circularity index) were compared between APAC, PACS, and control eyes. For resolved APAC eyes, the VD in each macular region was significantly lower than that in control eyes, with less central and inner macular VD than PACS eyes. The central macular VD was significantly lower in PACS eyes than in controls. There was no difference in FAZ area and perimeter between APAC, PACS, and control eyes. FAZ circularity was highest in control eyes, followed by PACS eyes, and lowest in APAC eyes. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of FAZ circularity were 0.944, 93.9% and 84.8%, respectively, in APAC eyes and 0.881, 84.8% and 81.8%, respectively, in PACS eyes. Therefore, FAZ circularity had the best discrimination capability for detecting both APAC and PACS eyes. Macular assessment with OCTA could provide an accurate early-stage diagnostic tool for PACG.
本研究分析了急性原发性闭角型青光眼(APAC)发作后原发性闭角型青光眼(PACG)患者的光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)黄斑参数。纳入 33 例 APAC 眼 33 例原发性闭角型青光眼可疑(PACS)眼和 33 例年龄匹配的正常对照者。比较 APAC、PACS 和对照组的黄斑中心、内、外和全区域血管密度(VD)和中心凹无血管区(FAZ)参数(面积、周长和环形度指数)。对于缓解的 APAC 眼,各黄斑区的 VD 明显低于对照组,且中心和内黄斑 VD 明显低于 PACS 眼。PACS 眼的中心黄斑 VD 明显低于对照组。APAC、PACS 和对照组的 FAZ 面积和周长无差异。FAZ 环形度在对照组最高,PACS 眼次之,APAC 眼最低。FAZ 环形度在 APAC 眼的 AUC、敏感性和特异性分别为 0.944、93.9%和 84.8%,在 PACS 眼的 AUC、敏感性和特异性分别为 0.881、84.8%和 81.8%。因此,FAZ 环形度对检测 APAC 和 PACS 眼具有最佳的判别能力。OCTA 对黄斑的评估可为 PACG 提供一种准确的早期诊断工具。
