Cystic macular oedema on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in choroideremia patients without cystic
1Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612-7234, USA.
Purpose:
To determine the prevalence of cystic macular oedema (CME) in patients with choroideremia (CHM) by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
Methods:
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.
Results:
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.
Conclusions:
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.
