PG - 237-41 LID - S0181-5512(14)00024-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jfo.2013.10.002 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To measure macular choroidal thickness (CT) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in highly myopic eyes with dome-shaped macula (DSM), and to investigate whether the choroid is thicker in these eyes compared to highly myopic eyes without MB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study of 200 eyes was performed between January 2010 and June 2012. Twenty-four highly myopic eyes (12%) had a dome-shaped macula. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, SD-OCT (TOPCON 2000), and B-scan ultrasonography. OCT scans were analyzed in 7 sections, and subfoveal CT was measured manually between the Bruch's membrane and the internal aspect of the sclera. The 20 eyes with isolated dome-shaped macular were paired by age and axial length (AL) with 20 eyes without macular involvement. RESULTS: In the subgroup with isolated MB, the mean subfoveal CT was 101.86 mum (+/- 21.35 mum). A statistically significant negative correlation was found between CT and AL (r=-0.623, P=0.0001). The regression equation demonstrated a decrease of 8.3 mum per mm of AL. In the subgroup without MB, matched with the subgroup with MB by age (P=0.591), and AL (P=0.815), the mean subfoveal CT was 89.54 mum (+/- 20.12 mum). The comparison between the two subgroups found a statistically significant difference in subfoveal CT (P<10-4). CONCLUSIONS: In our study, choroidal thickness is increased in highly myopic eyes with dome-shaped macula compared to highly myopic eyes without dome-shaped macula. These findings suggest that abnormalities of the choroid may play a role in the pathogenesis of dome-shaped macula. CI - Copyright (c) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
