Elevated Intraocular Pressure Moderated Brain Morphometry in High-tension Glaucoma: a Structural MRI Study

High-tension glaucoma (HTG) is one of the most common forms of primary open angle glaucoma. The purpose of this study was to assess in HTG brain, whether the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) had an effect on the brain morphological alterations via structural MRI. We acquired T1WI structural MRI i...

Zusammenfassung:High-tension glaucoma (HTG) is one of the most common forms of primary open angle glaucoma. The purpose of this study was to assess in HTG brain, whether the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) had an effect on the brain morphological alterations via structural MRI. We acquired T1WI structural MRI images from 56 subjects including 36 HTG patients and 20 healthy controls. We tested whether the brain morphometry was associated with the mean IOP in HTG patients. Moreover, we conducted moderation analysis to assess the interactions between subject type (HTG - healthy controls) and IOP. In HTG group, cortical thickness was negatively correlated with the mean IOP in the left rostral middle frontal gyrus, left pars triangularis, right precentral gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus (p
