Abstract EN
Purpose.
To describe the SD-OCT findings in patients with diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) and evaluate CRT and RNFL thickness.
Methods.
Patients with clinical diagnosis of DUSN who were submitted to SD-OCT were included in the study.
Complete ophthalmologic examination and SD-OCT were performed.
Cirrus scan strategy protocols used were 200×200 macular cube, optic nerve head cube, and HD-5 line raster.
Results.
Eight patients with DUSN were included.
Mean RNFL thickness was 80.25 μm and 104.75 μm for affected and normal eyes, respectively.
Late stage had mean RNFL thickness of 74.83 μm compared to 96.5 μm in early stage.
Mean CMT was 205.5 μm for affected eyes and 255.13 μm for normal fellow eyes.
Conclusion.
RNFL and CMT were thinner in DUSN eyes compared to normal eyes.
Late-stage disease had more pronounced thinning compared to early-stage patients.
This thinning in RNFL and CMT may reflect the low visual acuity in patients with DUSN.
