“…Tenlik et al in their Cirrus OCT study reported mean ChT to be 388.2 ± 50.0 μm and no significant correlations with age, gender, AL, or refractive error, similar to our study [15]. Read et al reported subfoveal ChT in their pediatric cohort to be 330 ± 65 μm with significant associations of subfoveal ChT with age, AL, and anterior chamber depth [16].…”

The objective of this study is to assess the normative macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in healthy children with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and study its correlations with age, intraocular pressure, axial length, corneal thickness, cup-to-disc ratio, and spherical equivalent. Methods: This study recruited 89 healthy children. Macular ChT was measured in five locations, subfoveal, 1500 μm and 3000 μm nasal, and temporal to the fovea via the Optopol REVO80 ® SD-OCT. Results: The mean age was 11.17 years. The mean subfoveal ChT was 332.33 ± 73.07 μm, ChT 1500 μm nasal to the fovea; 281.19 ± 66.67 μm, ChT 1500 μm temporal to the fovea; 293.25 ± 71.11 μm, ChT 3000 μm nasal to the fovea; 219.55 ± 67.4 μm, ChT 3000 μm temporal to the fovea; 264.31 ± 70.8 μm. A correlation of subfoveal ChT was not observed with the variables. Conclusions: This study illustrates the normative pediatric macular ChT profile.

“…The choroid is usually significantly thicker in children than in adults [ 12 , 40 , 41 ]. The mean SFCTh in healthy adults ranges between 272 μm and 448 μm [ 8 , 12 – 14 ] as compared to 302–388.2 μm [ 40 , 41 , 46 – 48 ] in children. It tends to get thinner from around the age of 30, decreasing on average by 16–20 μm every 10 years [ 42 ].…”

Choroidal thickness changes in children with chronic heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy

et al. 2021

Purpose To evaluate choroidal thickness (CTh) in children with chronic heart failure (CHF) secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare their values to those of healthy children. Methods Sixty eyes of thirty children (mean age 9.9 ± 3.57 years) with chronic heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF ≤ 55%) due to DCM lasting for over 6 months were prospectively enrolled. The control group consisted of 30 age- (mean age 10.16 ± 3.42 years) and sex-matched healthy children. All participants underwent transthoracic echocardiography with LVEF measured using the Simpson method and had the blood serum level of N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide marker (NT-proBNP) determined. All children underwent SD-OCT and had subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCTh) and CTh measured at 1500 µm (μm) nasally, temporally, superiorly and inferiorly from the fovea in both eyes by two investigators. Results CTh at all locations was statistically significantly lower in children with DCM compared to the control group. Mean CTh in the group with CHF compared to the control group were (304.03 vs. 369.72 μm, p < 0.05) at the subfoveal location, (245.87 vs. 284 μm, p < 0.05) 1500 μm nasally from the fovea, (291.5 vs. 355.95 μm, p < 0.05) 1500 μm temporally from the fovea, (303.98 vs. 357.58 μm, p < 0.05) 1500 μm superiorly from the fovea and (290.92 vs. 344.96 μm, p < 0.05) 1500 μm inferiorly from the fovea. The average difference CTh between the study groups ranged from 38.13 to 65.69 μm at individual locations. In both groups, CTh was the thickest at subfoveal location (304.03 vs. 369.72 μm, p < 0.05) and the thinnest was 1500 μm nasally from the fovea (262.37 vs. 336.87 μm, p < 0.05). There was no correlation between CTh and age, gender, biometry and refractive error. No correlation was found between CTh and LVEF and NT-proBNP. Conclusion Patients with CHF due to DCM had a thinner CTh at all measured locations. The results of our research indicate that CHF affects CTh and this parameter may be very helpful in monitoring the clinical course of the disease in children with DCM.

“…Since different methods have been described in the literature to obtain more accurate results, not only horizontal but also vertical quadrants were taken into account when calculating mean SMCT. In this study, we developed and used a 25 points-measurement method, instead of the model, which was described by Tenlik et al ( 17 ), made from 500 to 3000 μm (5 points) in the horizontal and vertical cross-section ( Fig. 1 ).…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on choroidal thickness (CT), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and ganglion cell (GCL+IPL) complex thickness in childhood cases of gastritis. Methods: A total of 104 eyes of 52 children were included in the study. Two groups were created: 54 eyes of 27 H. pylori gastritis cases (Group 1) and 50 eyes of 25 gastritis without H. pylori cases (Group 2), as confirmed by an endoscopic biopsy. The mean subfoveal, submacular, and peripapillary CT, RNFL thickness, and GCL+IPL complex thickness was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Results: The mean subfoveal CT values were significantly higher in Group 1 compared with Group 2 (p=0.042). The mean submacular CT and peripapillary CT measurements of the eyes in Group 1 was greater than that of Group 2, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference between the GCL+IPL complex or RNFL thickness values of the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: H. pylori is a common gastrointestinal infectious agent with asymptomatic carriers in the population. The role of this agent in ocular pathologies in adult patients has been the subject of many recent studies, but secondary ocular findings in patients with H. pylori gastritis in childhood have not yet been investigated. The results of this study showed that the subfoveal CT value was significantly greater in children with H. pylori gastritis.
