Optical Coherence Tomography in the Differential Diagnosis of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Patients with MRI Nonspecific White Matter Lesions

Abstract: In the differential diagnosis of nonspecific white matter lesions (NSWMLs) detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), multiple sclerosis (MS) should be taken into consideration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising tool applied in the differential diagnostic process of MS. We tested whether OCT may be useful in distinguishing between MS and NSWMLs patients. In patients with MS (n = 41) and NSWMLs (n = 19), the following OCT parameters were measured: thickness of the peripapillary Retinal Nerve … Show more

“…MRI is needed to examine the presence of demyelinating plaques and to diagnose multiple sclerosis or assess the risk of its development. OCT assessment, particularly of the ganglion cell layer, may have a similar function [3]. Retinal ganglion cell layer thinning, seen on OCT, may exist even without previous clinically evident episode of ON.…”
