Retinal vascularization from a new angle: A systematic review of temporal retinal vessel angles in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Retinal temporal vessel angles (TVA) could function as a clinical marker to reflect the structural and functional integrity of the macular region. We aimed to systematically search and appraise all literature investigating the association between temporal vessel angles (TVA) and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).

Methods

A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. We identified articles examining the association between TVA and FEVR by systematically searching PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and SCOPUS, on January 15, 2024. Additional studies were located through hand searching and content area expert contributions. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.
