Relationship of macular ganglion cell complex thickness to choroidal microvasculature drop-out in primary open-angle glaucoma

Eleonora Micheletti et al.

Summary: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with deep-layer microvasculature drop-out (MvD) have a faster rate of ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning compared to those without MvD. Detection of MvD using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) can assist clinicians in identifying patients at higher risk for central macula thinning and glaucomatous progression, requiring more intensive management.

Factors associated with choroidal microvascular drop-out change

Eleonora Micheletti et al.

Summary: Factors such as intraocular pressure fluctuation, glaucoma medications, and baseline visual field damage are associated with the enlargement of choroidal microvasculature drop-out (MvD) in glaucomatous eyes.

Parapapillary deep-layer microvasculature dropout is only found near the retinal nerve fibre layer defect location in open-angle glaucoma

Ki Young Son et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the topographic relationship between deep-layer microvasculature dropout (MvD) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). It was found that MvD is only observed at the location of the RNFL defect in one hemiretina eyes, and usually found in the location of more severe RNFL defects in eyes with defects in both hemiretinas. This suggests that MvD may be a sign accompanying glaucomatous damage in OAG eyes.

Nocturnal blood pressure dip and parapapillary choroidal microvasculature dropout in normal-tension glaucoma

Joong Won Shin et al.

Summary: The study found that nighttime diastolic blood pressure dip, visual field mean deviation, and daytime peak intraocular pressure are closely associated with the presence of choroidal microvasculature dropout in normal-tension glaucoma patients.

Juxtapapillary Deep-Layer Microvasculature Dropout and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thinning in Glaucoma

Ji Min Kwon et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the RNFL thinning rate in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, revealing that eyes with juxtapapillary microvasculature dropout showed the fastest RNFL thinning rate, suggesting that deep-layer microvasculature dropout may be associated with rapid glaucoma progression.

An Increased Choroidal Microvasculature Dropout Size is Associated With Progressive Visual Field Loss in Open-Angle Glaucoma

Jin Yeong Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that eyes with open-angle glaucoma and choroidal microvasculature dropout (CMvD) show significant increases in CMvD angular circumference (AC) during follow-up, with a greater increase in CMvD angular circumference observed in eyes with visual field (VF) progression. A larger increase in CMvD AC was identified as an independent predictor of VF progression, and CMvD AC changes were significantly correlated with the rate of VF deterioration.

Clinical characteristics of choroidal microvasculature dropout in normal-tension glaucoma versus nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy: an optical coherence tomography angiography study

Joong Won Shin et al.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of choroidal microvasculature dropout (CMvD) in eyes with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). The area and angular width of CMvD were significantly larger in NAION eyes, mainly located in the temporal region, while NTG eyes showed a different distribution pattern. Factors distinguishing NAION from NTG included larger CMvD area and closer proximity to the temporal region. Optical coherence tomography angiography could be a helpful tool in differentiating these two conditions.

Intereye Comparison of the Characteristics of the Peripapillary Choroid in Patients with Unilateral Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Jeong-Ah Kim et al.

Summary: The characteristics of the peripapillary choroid (PPC) were compared between the eyes of patients with unilateral treatment-naive normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Eyes with NTG showed higher intraocular pressure, thinner PPC, larger area and maximum radial width of beta-zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA), and more frequent microvasculature dropout (MvD) compared to contralateral healthy eyes. Factors such as higher IOP, thinner PPC, larger maximum radial width of beta-zone PPA, and the presence of MvD were independently associated with the risk of NTG.

High Pulse Wave Velocity Is Associated With Decreased Macular Vessel Density in Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Taekjune Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that PWV was higher in NTG patients, with lower retinal vessel density, and high PWV was significantly associated with age, mean arterial pressure, and mVD. This suggests that systemic arterial stiffness may play a role in the pathogenesis of NTG.
