  • The changes in optic disc parameters of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome and optic neuritis with optic disc edema using three-dimensional optical coherence tomography

    Objective To compare the differences of optic disc morphology and optic nerve head parameters between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome and optic neuritis (ON) with optic disc edema. Methods This is a retrospective study including 21 first-onset VKH patients (35 eyes) as VKH group and 22 first-onset ON patients with optic disc edema (27 eyes) as ON group. The differences of age (t=−1.11) and gender (χ2=0.20) between two groups were not significant (P>0.05). Sixty-two eyes of 43 age and gender-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in this study as control group. All subjects underwent three dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT) examinations. The difference of optic disc morphology between two groups was observed. The parameters included average thickness of entire circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL), thickness of nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL, disc area, disc cup area, rim area, cup/disc (C/D) area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio. The disc retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) angle was observed too. Results Among 35 eyes in VKH group, 31 eyes (88.57%) had retinal detachment next to the disc, 3 eyes (8.57%) had serrated inner limiting membranes of the disc. Twenty eyes (64.52%) had highly reflective points, lines, or membrane-like structures in the retinal detachment areas. No such signs appeared in ON patients. Compared with ON group, the optic cup area, C/D area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the superior, inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL were thinner, disc RPE angles was smaller in VKH group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the disc area, optic cup area, rim area were bigger, C/D vertical diameter ratio was smaller, the mean CP-RNFL and 4 quadrants CP-RNFL were thicker, disc RPE angles was smaller in VKH group (P<0.05); the disc area, optic cup area, C/D area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio were smaller, the mean CP-RNFL and 4 quadrants CP-RNFL were thicker, disc RPE angles was bigger in VKH group (P<0.05). Conclusions VKH patients have smaller disc RPE angles and more chance to develop retinal detachment next to disc than ON patients. The C/D area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio are bigger, the mean CP-RNFL and the superior, inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL are thinner in VKH eyes.

  • The changes in optic disc parameters and thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer in acute uveitis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with different degrees of optic disc edema

    Objective To compare the differences of optic disc parameters and the thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL) in acute uveitis Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome with different degrees of optic disc edema. Methods This is a retrospective study including 40 eyes of 23 VKH patients. The eyes were divided into 2 groups according to the results of fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). The discs with hyperfluorescence but no leakage were in mild optic disc edema group (group A, 13 patients and 25 eyes), and the discs with hyperfluorescence and leakage were in severe optic disc edema group (group B, 10 patients and 15 eyes). The patients were significantly older in group B than in group A (t=−2.17, P<0.05). The differences of gender, diseased time (t=−1.67) and corrected visual acuity (t=−0.76) between 2 groups were not significant (P>0.05). Eighty eyes of 46 normal healthy subjects, matching group A and group B with age and gender, were divided into group C (26 subjects and 50 eyes) and group D (20 subjects and 30 eyes) respectively. All subjects underwent three dimensional optical coherence tomography examinations. The parameters included average thickness of entire circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL), thickness of nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL, disc area, disc cup area, rim area, cup/disc (C/D) area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio. Results The disc area, disc cup area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal and temporal quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group A than those in group C (P<0.05). The disc area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL were thicker, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller in group B than those in group D (P<0.05). The disc area was bigger, disc cup area, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal , superior and inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group B than those in group A (P<0.05). Conclusions Acute VKH uveitis with mild optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in the nasal and temporal quadrants; with severe optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in all 4 quadrants. Acute VKH uveitis also has smaller C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio.
