Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Analysis with Optical Coherence Tomography in Wolfram Syndrome

Purpose: To evaluate the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in Wolfram’s Syndrome (WS) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: The peripapillary RNFL of eighteen eyes of nine patients
with the clinical diagnosis of WS were measured using Stratus OCT. The RNFL was determined consecutively three times.

Results: The mean RNFL thickness is inferior to the 99% normal limit given by the instrument´s... view more»
