Popis: | With normal retinal blood flow, cross-sectional optical coherence tomography (OCT) of retinal vessels shows a structured intravascular reflectivity profile, resembling a 'figure-of-8'. Altered profiles have been reported in vascular occlusive and haematological diseases. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can cause visual loss, usually due to anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) or retinal artery occlusion. Our aim was to extend the assessment of OCT vascular profiles to patients with suspected GCA and to determine if any abnormalities were related to GCA |
