Comment on “Evaluation of Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis”

Abstract EN

We have read the article entitled “Evaluation of Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness in Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis” by Akçay et al.

with great interest [1].

The authors researched the relationship between internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT) in the elderly population.

Forty-two eyes of 21 patients with more than 70% ICA stenosis (Group 1) and less than 70% stenosis (Group 2) were recruited for this study.

They discovered that the mean subfoveal CT was 231.9 ± 44.6 μm in Group 1 and 216.2 ± 46.8 μm in Group 2, which was significantly thinner.

In addition, statistically significant positive correlation was found between the percentage of internal carotid artery stenosis and subfoveal CT.

We congratulate the authors for their valuable study and we would like to ask for more details and contributions to the article.
