Optic Nerve Head Changes Measured by Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography and Angiography in Patients with Intracranial Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study explored the structural and microvascular changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) of patients with intracranial hypertension (IH) by using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)/OCT angiography (OCTA) and evaluated their association with clinical features.

Methods

The optic disc morphology, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), and microvascular densities of the nerve fiber layer plexus (NFLP), superficial vascular plexus (SVP), intermediate capillary plexus (ICP), and deep capillary plexus (DCP) were measured by the SS-OCT/OCTA tool. Frisen score, visual acuity, and intracranial pressure were assessed and recorded in patients with IH.

Results

Sixty-one patients with IH and 65 co
