Discriminating Between Compressive Optic Neuropathy With Glaucoma-Like Cupping and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy Using OCT and OCTA.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To discriminate between compressive optic neuropathy with glaucoma-like cupping (GL-CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) by comparing the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Methods

In this retrospective cross-sectional study, OCT scans were performed on 28 eyes of GL-CON, 34 eyes of GON, and 41control eyes to determine the pRNFL thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness, and cup/disc ratio. OCTA scans were conducted for 12 eyes of GL-CON, 15 eyes of GON, and 15 control eyes to measure the vessel density of the peripapillary and macular areas. Analysis of covariance was used to perform the comparisons, and the area under the curve was calculated.

Results

The GON eyes had a significantly thinner pRNFL in the inferior quadrant and greater vertical cup/disc ratio than the GL-CON eyes. In the radial peripapillary capillary segment, the vessel density of the GON in the inferior sectors was significantly lower than in the GL-CON. The superficial macular vessel density in the whole-image, peritemporal, perinasal, and peri-inferior sectors was significantly smaller in the GON group than in the GL-CON group. The best parameter for discriminating between GL-CON and GON was the superficial macular vessel density in the peritemporal sector.

Conclusions

GL-CON eyes showed a characteristic pattern of pRNFL and retinal microvascular changes.

Translational relevance

GL-CON can be effectively distinguished from GON by detecting the alterations in the pRNFL and retinal microvasculature using OCT and OCTA.

Project description:PurposeTo determine whether an association exists between sleep apnea and open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), papilledema, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure affects the development of these conditions.DesignRetrospective, longitudinal cohort study.MethodsBilling records for beneficiaries 40 years of age and older enrolled in a large United States managed care network from 2001 through 2007 were reviewed. Incidence of open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, NAION, papilledema, and IIH were determined for the beneficiaries and were stratified by sleep apnea status. Cox regression analyses determined the hazard of each of these conditions developing among individuals with and without sleep apnea, with adjustment for sociodemographic, ocular, and medical conditions.ResultsAmong the 2 259 061 individuals in the study, 156 336 (6.9%) had 1 or more sleep apnea diagnoses. The hazard of open-angle glaucoma was no different among persons with sleep apnea either treated (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 1.18) or untreated with continuous positive airway pressure (HR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.05) and individuals without sleep apnea. Similar findings were observed when assessing the hazard of normal-tension glaucoma developing (P > .05 for both comparisons). A significantly increased hazard of NAION developing (HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.33) and IIH (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.65 to 2.49) was observed among individuals with sleep apnea who were not receiving continuous positive airway pressure therapy as compared with individuals without sleep apnea, although similar increased risks could not be demonstrated among continuous positive airway pressure-treated sleep apnea patients for these conditions (P > .05 for both comparisons).ConclusionsPatients with untreated sleep apnea are at increased risk for IIH and NAION. Clinicians should consider appropriate screening for these conditions in sleep apnea patients.

Project description:PurposeTo quantify the morphological features of the optic nerve head using radial polynomials, to use these morphometric models as the basis for classification of glaucomatous optic neuropathy via an automated decision tree induction algorithm, and to compare these classification results with established procedures.MethodsA cohort of patients with high-risk ocular hypertension or early glaucoma (n=179) and a second cohort of normal subjects (n=96) were evaluated for glaucomatous optic neuropathy using stereographic disc photography and confocal scanning laser tomography. Morphological features of the optic nerve head region were modeled from the tomography data using pseudo-Zernike radial polynomials and features derived from these models were used as the basis for classification by a decision tree induction algorithm. Decision tree classification performance was compared with expert classification of stereographic disc photographs and analysis of neural retinal rim thickness by Moorfields Regression Analysis (MRA).ResultsRoot mean squared error of the morphometric models decreased asymptotically with additional polynomial coefficients, from 62±0.5 (32 coefficients) to 32±5.7 μm (256 coefficients). Optimal morphometric classification was derived from a subset of 64 total features and had low sensitivity (69%), high specificity (88%), very good accuracy (80%), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was 88% (95% confidence interval, 78%-98%). In comparison, MRA classification of the same records had a comparatively poorer sensitivity (55%), but had higher specificity (95%), with similar overall accuracy (78%) and AUROC curve, 83% (95% CI, 70%-96%).ConclusionsPseudo-Zernike radial polynomials provide a mathematically compact and faithful morphological representation of the structural features of the optic nerve head. This morphometric method of glaucomatous optic neuropathy classification has greater sensitivity, and similar overall classification performance (AUROC) when compared with classification by neural retinal rim thickness by MRA in patients with high-risk ocular hypertension and early glaucoma.
