Letter to the Editor Regarding “Optical Coherence Tomography in the Management of Skull Base Fibrous Dysplasia with Optic Nerve Involvement”

In the recently published article by Loewenstern et  al,1 the authors attempted to determine the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and management of compressive optic neuropathy secondary to fibrous dysplasia (FD). OCT is a relatively new imaging modality, which uses high-resolution cross-sections of the retina to determ ine the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. The study evaluated 6 patients with cranial base FD for optic nerve compression and RNFL thinning, using computed tomography (CT) and OCT, respectively.
