[Does OCT morphology provide indications for prognosis of visual acuity after venous occlusion? : SD-OCT analysis in retinal vein occlusion before and after resolution of initial macular edema].

Background: Even though macular edema (ME) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is resolved after intravitreal treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), impairment of visual acuity (VA) often persists.

Objective: A qualitative and quantitative evaluation of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images was carried out in patients with RVO and resolved ME to investigate a correlation between retinal morphology and functional results.

Material And Methods: Foveal SD-OCT scans of 13 patients with RVO and resolved ME after treatment were retrospectively evaluated.

Corneal confocal microscopy in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Objective: There is an unmet need for better diagnostic tools to further delineate clinical subsets of heterogeneous chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) to facilitate treatment decisions. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a noninvasive and reproducible nerve imaging technique. This study evaluates the potential of CCM as a diagnostic surrogate in CIDP and MMN.
