RETINAL INNER NUCLEAR LAYER MICROCYSTIC CHANGES IN OPTIC NERVE ATROPHY: A Novel Spectral-Domain OCT Finding

Purpose: Optic atrophy constitutes the final stage in the evolution of optic neuropathy. The aim of this study was to describe the presence of macular microcystic changes or pseudocysts in patients with advanced optic atrophy. Methods: The medical records of 24 patients who had retinal pseudocysts in association with optic atrophy have been analyzed. All patients underwent a complete neuro-ophthalmologic assessment; peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and macular screening with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography "en face" imaging analysis were also performed. Results: A total of 36 eyes were included in the study. Patients' mean age ...
