Abstract
Background: In patients with craniosynostosis, the authors evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of fundoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to detect intracranial hypertension (ICH), the time course of retinal thickness after treatment of ICH, and the relationship between high hyperopia (HH) and fundoscopy/OCT scan findings.
Methods: Patients with syndromic, multisuture, unicoronal, unilambdoid, or sagittal synostosis visiting the authors' national center were included in this longitudinal cohort study and formed a consecutive series. Retinal layers on OCT, OCT fundus images, and fundoscopy results were evaluated. ICH was scored according to presence of abnormal intracranial pressures, hydrocephalus, progressive cerebellar tonsillar herniation or fingerprinting, and growth arrest. Diagnostic accuracy of OCT, fundoscopy, and fundus image; the time course of retinal thickness after ICH; and interference of HH were analyzed using linear mixed models.
Results: A total of 577 OCT scans in 307 patients were included. ICH was found in 7.2%. Combining total retinal thickness (TRT), OCT fundus imaging and fundoscopy resulted in a sensitivity of 76% and 81% specificity to detect signs of ICH. TRT was increased in patients who had had signs of ICH versus patients who had never had signs of ICH (β +44.9 µm in patients who had had ICH [95% CI, 9.0 to 80.8]; P = 0.01). TRT decreased to normal in the years after surgery (β -3.6 µm/yr [95% CI, -7.2 to -0.05]; P = 0.047). There were greater odds of having increased TRT in patients with HH (OR, 2.9 [95% CI, 1.1 to 7.6]; P = 0.03).
Conclusions: The correlation among TRT, OCT fundus image, fundoscopy, and particularly the combination of these measures with intracranial pressure surrogate markers is fair. Increased TRT in the presence of a clinical suspicion of ICH warrants further screening.
Clinical question/level of evidence: Diagnostic, III.
期刊介绍:
For more than 70 years Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® has been the one consistently excellent reference for every specialist who uses plastic surgery techniques or works in conjunction with a plastic surgeon. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® , the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, is a benefit of Society membership, and is also available on a subscription basis.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® brings subscribers up-to-the-minute reports on the latest techniques and follow-up for all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction, experimental studies, maxillofacial reconstruction, hand and microsurgery, burn repair, cosmetic surgery, as well as news on medicolegal issues. The cosmetic section provides expanded coverage on new procedures and techniques and offers more cosmetic-specific content than any other journal. All subscribers enjoy full access to the Journal''s website, which features broadcast quality videos of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, podcasts, comprehensive article archives dating to 1946, and additional benefits offered by the newly-redesigned website.
