Abstract:
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging tool that is currently used in the evaluation and management of neuro-ophthalmic disorders. The detailed ability to visualize the optic nerve head, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, and the macula, including the ganglion cell layer, allows for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of optic nerve diseases. This review covers the technical aspects of OCT and related imaging techniques in neuro-ophthalmology and discusses its use in common optic nerve head diseases such as optic disc drusen, optic disc coloboma, and elevated intracranial pressure. It also explores emerging OCT angiography applications in these disorders.
