Zusammenfassung: | The present study aims to investigate the effect of temporary cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) reduction on optic nerve head (ONH) and macular vessel density (VD) using optical coherence tomography angiography. Forty-four eyes of 44 adults with diagnostic lumbar puncture and CSFP reduction were recruited. Thirty-two eyes of 32 healthy volunteers were controls. ONH and macular VD images were evaluated differences between baseline and after CSFP reduction. The results showed that the mean CSFP decreased from (11.6±2.1) mmHg to (8.2±3.4) mmHg (
P
0.05). In conclusion, macular vessel density decreased in association with CSFP reduction. Retinal vessel density in the macular region is more sensitive than that in peripapillary region after CSFP reduction. |
