Investigation of Retinal Vascular Changes during Pregnancy Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Purpose : To investigate retinal vascular changes in pregnant women using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Materials and Methods : This prospective, cross-sectional study included 97 pregnant women and age-matched 34 healthy control subjects. The OCTA parameters of one eye (left) of pregnancy group and control group were compared. Besides, the OCTA parameters of three trimesters were compared between themselves and the control group. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and the vessel density percentages of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) of all the groups were evaluated by OCTA. Results : In the pregnancy ...
