Evaluation of Increase in Retinal Thickness as Diagnostic Marker in Central Artery Occlusion

CONCLUSION: Central retinal artery occlusion is associated with severe vision loss. There is no current established therapy. Parameters that objectify the presence of a therapeutic window for thrombolysis are gaining in importance as patient history is often imprecise. Relative retinal thickness increase proved a noninvasive imaging parameter demonstrating adequate performance in detecting patients within the therapeutic window of thrombolysis. Further investigation of this parameter in central retinal occlusion is warranted.PMID:38653296 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-0526
