OCT-Angiographic Findings in Intermediate Uveitis-related Refractory Macular Edema

Abstract Objective : To assess the microvascular structure of macula in uveitic refractory macular edemaMethod:In a cross-sectional observational study fifty-five patients in all were assessed for macular microvascular structure using Optuve OCT angiography: 30 patients with intermediate uveitis-related refractory macular edema (RME group), and 25 patients with intermediate uveitis without macular edema (control group).Results:Superficial layer density in RME and control group were significantly different in whole image and parafovea (P=0.027 , P= 0.001), however there was no significant differences between the two groups in fovea superficial density (P=0.711).There was no significant difference in deep layer density between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion:The density of superficial vessels is lower in refractory macular edema. Micro-cystic changes in inner retina and ischemia can be the cause of alteration in superficial layer density in refractory macular edema.

Title: OCT-Angiographic Findings in Intermediate Uveitis-related Refractory Macular Edema

Description:

Results:Superficial layer density in RME and control group were significantly different in whole image and parafovea (P=0.

027 , P= 0.

001), however there was no significant differences between the two groups in fovea superficial density (P=0.

711).

There was no significant difference in deep layer density between the two groups (P>0.

05).

Conclusion:The density of superficial vessels is lower in refractory macular edema.

Micro-cystic changes in inner retina and ischemia can be the cause of alteration in superficial layer density in refractory macular edema.
