| description | Aim: The RNFL thickness value of the patients who had established lacunar infarct on theirMRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), compared by OCT with healthy volunteers, which is anoninvasive examination and has a high reliability.Material and Methods: The patients who had applied to neurology polyclinic for any reasonand established lacunar infarct on their MRI were included in the study. Patients’ optic nervefiber thickness was measured. The control group was formed by 50 randomized healthyvolunteers. Results: 20 of patients were female (40%) and 30 of them were male (60%), and the averageage was 62.88±1.25 of control group were female (50%) and 25 of them were male (50%), andthe average age was 62.64±1.06. When the regional RNFL thickness of the patients and thecontrol group was compared on superior, inferior, nasal and temporal quarters, it was determinedthat significant differences had demonstrated (p<0.001). Conclusions: When the studies with optic atrophy were examined, the noticing feature wasthat; these diseases or pathologies had effected the brain diffusely in all. But in our study, wesatisfied that in the patients with lacunar infarct whose central nervous system has been effectedlocally; the RNFL might become thinner on the all face of optic nerve’s in OCT.Key words: Lacunar cerebral infarction, optical coherence tomography |
