Purpose: In this study, the changes in microvascular circulation caused by pregestational and gestational diabetes were observed, without focusing on retinal findings, to reveal the effect of diabetes regulation.
Methods: A total of 135 subjects were included: 30 with gestational diabetes (GDM), 30 pregestational diabetes (PGDM), 30 healthy pregnant normoglycemic subjects, and 45 healthy non-pregnant subjects. All subjects were examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography.
Purpose: To study retinal and choroidal microcirculation by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in pregnant women with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and to compare them with healthy pregnant and nonpregnant subjects.
Methods: Pregnant women with an unexplained history of RSA (group 1), healthy pregnant (group 2), and healthy non-pregnant women (group 3) were included in the study. After a thorough ophthalmologic examination:best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure,slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination,autorefractometer, biometry, and axial length measurement; OCT and OCTA measurements were performed with Swept Source OCT-Angiography (Topcon Co, Japan).
Background: To investigate microvascular changes in pregnant women with preeclampsia using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and compare the results with healthy pregnant and non-pregnant subjects.
Methods: Superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP) choriocapillaris (CC) vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone area (FAZ), retina, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), the ganglion cell layer (GCL) and the choroidal thickness were examined and compared in preeclamptic pregnant (group 1), healthy pregnant women (group 2) and non-pregnant, age-matched female controls (group 3). The correlations of the parameters with each other and with blood pressure were evaluated.
