At the same time, the number of patients with tuberculous haematogenous uveitides decreased significantly (55% vs 76%; р 0.0001), and that with non-tuberculous ophthalmic diseases by contrast significantly increased (23% vs 43%; р 0.0001). Among tuberculous uveitides, high amount of chorioretinitis (46%) and of panuveitis (11%) was found. Their severity was escalated by complications (in 7786% of patients) and frequent concomitant systemic conditions. In 277 patients, the post-covid syndrome was revealed (after prior Coronavirus COVID-19 infection). During the pandemic, the admission to the sanatorium of patients with active (dispensary follow-up care group I) and chronic (dispensary follow-up care group II) forms of ocular tuberculosis significantly decreased: 9% vs 15%, and 18% vs 27%, respectively; that with clinical recovery (dispensary follow-up care group III) increased (73% vs 58%). Active tuberculosis forms of other localization were excluded. \u0000A reduction in the quality of ocular tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment in dispensaries is related to decrease in number of qualified phtisioophthalmologists, periodical breakdowns in supply of tuberculin and of some medications. \u0000In the Krasny Val sanatorium, patients received additional examination, full-fledged chemotherapy, and necessary rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":31539,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47246519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, OCT has been used in clinical practice to monitor the progression of compressive optic neuropathy in patients with chiasmal-sellar region neoplasms. The results obtained in the course of the studies opened up new opportunities for studying the pathogenesis of the development of compressive optic neuropathy in patients of this group. The advent of OCT-angiography (OCTA), developed on the basis of OCT, made it possible to study changes in the blood flow of the radial peripapillary capillary network, superficial and deep capillary plexuses, which opens up many opportunities for further research into the pathogenesis of visual impairment in this group of patients, prognosis of the development of the disease, and selection optimal terms of treatment.

Early diagnosis of the disease is extremely important for the just-in-time start of specific therapy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the optic nerve head and retina can become an early marker of the neurodegenerative process in multiple sclerosis. \u0000AIM: To determine OCT-changes in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal thickness in the macular area being most specific for multiple sclerosis. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: 197 patients were examined, the study group consisted of 136 patients (274 eyes) with an established diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and the disease duration of at least 6 months. The control group included 61 healthy people (122 eyes). All patients underwent a standard ophthalmological examination, OCT was performed on Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) using 2 scanning protocols: ONH-RC-Scan (Optic Nerve Head-Radial Circle Scan) and PPAA (Posterior Pole Asymmetry Analysis) \u0000RESULTS: Only 11 patients (8.1%) had a history of retrobulbar neuritis, the best corrected visual acuity was 0.7 and higher in 83 (81%) patients with multiple sclerosis, while the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer OCT-changes typical for multiple sclerosis were found in 118 patients (87%). The most prominent thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer in group with multiple sclerosis was revealed in the temporal part of the optic nerve head (59.9 14.8 in the study group versus 76.6 12.0 in the control group; p 0.001), the least thinning was in the nasal half (66.6 14.3 in the study group versus 69.3 12.4 in the control group; p = 0.013). The retina in the macular area in multiple sclerosis patients was thinned over the entire area, the most significant changes were in the Outer Nasal 7 zone (303.3 20.4 in the study group versus 324.3 10.0 in the control group; p 0.001). Cluster analysis found 6 new retinal zones for mapping the macular area using the scanning protocol PPAA. In order to determine the prognostic value of the obtained zones, a logistic regression model was constructed, which with a sensitivity of 87.1% and a specificity of 81.6% allows concluding on the probability of having multiple sclerosis. \u0000CONCLUSION: OCT data using the proposed mapping of the macular area with the mathematical model analysis could be used to diagnose specific optic nerve atrophy, to reveal typical thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer associated with multiple sclerosis, and in the long run, to become an additional criterion for establishing the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.","PeriodicalId":31539,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmology Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48720094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
