Abstract
Purpose: To determine whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) thickness values from macular volume scans can be used to detect uveitic retinal vasculitis.
Methods: Retrospective study of patients with noninfectious retinal vasculitis. Fluorescein angiogram (FA) and 61-line OCT macular volume scans with an overlying Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy study (ETDRS) grid were obtained. Correlation between 1mm and 6mm ETDRS ring values and posterior pole vasculitis was analyzed. A linear longitudinal model was used to assess the relationship between global retinal vasculitis scores and OCT macular thickness parameters.
Results: Ninety-nine eyes of 54 patients were included. A total of 460 OCT and fluorescein angiogram pairs were analyzed. Central (1mm) macular thickness was weakly correlated with posterior pole vasculitis (correlation coefficient [rho]=0.09, p=0.06). Both the mean 6mm ring (rho=0.11, p=0.018) and the average of the superior and inferior (S/I) 6mm ring values (rho=0.13, p=0.006) were strongly correlated with posterior pole leakage. The longitudinal model showed that S/I 6mm ring values are associated with vasculitis in the posterior pole, mid and far periphery (p<0.0001).
Conclusions: OCT-based macular volume thickness can detect uveitic retinal vasculitis and aid in monitoring disease activity.
