RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Assessment of spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) is commonly undertaken to help determine whether intracranial pressure (ICP) is elevated. Previous studies using direct ophthalmoscopy or slit-lamp assessments have found that SVP is not observed in 67%-81% of subjects with normal ICP, and that interobserver agreement when grading SVP is poor. METHODS: Patients (n = 105) undergoing clinically indicated retinal OCT scans, who were all believed to have normal ICP, had 10-second infrared video recordings performed with the Heidelberg Spectralis OCT system (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). The presence and amplitude of SVP in each video was independently graded by 2 neuro-ophthalmologists. RESULTS: The 2 observers found SVP present in 97% and 98% of right eyes and in one or both eyes in 99% and 100% of subjects. Interobserver agreement was high (Cohen's kappa 0.82 for right eyes). Optic discs with a smaller cup had a significantly lower SVP amplitude (Spearman's rho = 0.22, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Infrared video is widely available in eye clinics by the use of OCT imaging systems and is substantially more sensitive in detecting SVP than traditional assessments using ophthalmoscopy. SVP is absent in as few as 1% of people with presumed normal ICP.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate photoreceptor changes in eyes with glaucoma. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: The study included 35 eyes of 35 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who had suffered parafoveal visual field loss at least 3 years previously, as well as 21 eyes of 21 normal subjects. Eyes with an axial length ≥26.0 mm were excluded. All subjects underwent a full ophthalmologic examination, including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) and prototype adaptive-optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AO-SLO) imaging. RESULTS: As determined using AO-SLO, eyes with glaucoma did not differ significantly from normal eyes in terms of either cone density (26 468 ± 3392 cones/m2 vs 26 147 ± 2700 cones/m2, respectively; P = .77; measured 0.5 mm from the foveal center) or cone spatial organization (ratio of hexagonal Voronoi domain: 43.7% ± 4.4% vs 44.3% ± 4.9%; P = .76; measured 0.5 mm from the foveal center). Furthermore, SDOCT showed that the 2 groups did not differ significantly in terms of the photoreceptor-related layer thickness, and that the photoreceptor ellipsoid zone band was continuous in all normal and glaucoma eyes. In glaucoma eyes with vertically asymmetric severity, the more affected side did not significantly differ from the less affected side in terms of cone density, cone spatial organization, or photoreceptor-related layer thickness. In 8 eyes (22.9%) with glaucoma, dark, partition-like areas surrounded the cones on the AO-SLO. CONCLUSIONS: Both AO-SLO and SDOCT showed cone integrity in eyes with glaucoma, even in areas with visual field and nerve fiber loss. In AO-SLO, microcystic lesions in the inner nuclear layer may influence images of the cone mosaic.
