Decreased retinal sensitivity and loss of retinal nerve fibers in multiple system atrophy.
- Abstract:
-
BACKGROUND AND AIM: In a previous study, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) loss was shown as part of the neurodegenerative process in multiple system atrophy (MSA). Here, we investigate in a larger cohort of MSA patients whether the RNFLT loss translates into respective visual field defects. METHODS: Spectral domain optical coherence tomography was performed in 20 MSA patients (parkinsonian subtype = 12, cerebellar subtype = 8) to quantify peripapillary RNFLT. Visual field (90°) wa...
