Decrement of choroid vascularization during spontaneous migraine attacks: An optical coherence tomography angiography study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the microcirculation of the macula, the optic nerve, and the choroid in patients with migraine by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) during spontaneous migraine attacks, comparing the findings with scans performed in the interictal period in the same subjects and healthy controls (HCs).

Methods

In this case-crossover design study, patients diagnosed with migraine who underwent an OCTA during a migraine attack were enrolled. A cohort of HCs was recruited for comparison. Data from ocular and orthotic examinations and clinical and demographical information were collected. All subjects were imaged with Solix full range OCT, recording the following parameters: macular vessel density (VD), inside disc VD, peripapillary VD, disc wh
