Chorio-retinal thickness measurements in patients with acromegaly

Purpose To compare choroidal, foveal, and peripapillary retinal thickness between patients with acromegaly and healthy adults. Methods This prospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study included 30 patients with acromegaly (study group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group). The subfoveal ch...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose To compare choroidal, foveal, and peripapillary retinal thickness between patients with acromegaly and healthy adults. Methods This prospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study included 30 patients with acromegaly (study group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group). The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), foveal thickness, and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness were measured with spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Results The mean SFCT in the study group and in the control eyes was 374.4±98.1 and 308.6±77.3 μ m, respectively ( P
