    (Springer London Ltd, 2020) Turkcu, Fatih Mehmet; Sahin, Alparslan; Karaalp, Umit; Cinar, Yasin; Sahin, Muhammed; Ozkurt, Zeynep Gursel; Keklikci, Ugur
    PurposeTo measure the vascular density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in patients with Behcet's disease (BD) obtained by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).MethodsVD and FAZ area in the deep and superficial retinal vascular networks were measured in all eyes.ResultsThirty BD and 31 control subjects were included in the study. The mean overall VD measured in the entire scan was lower in BD compared with control group in both the superficial (49.526.54 vs 53.57 +/- 2.87%, respectively; p=0.003) and deep (53.44 +/- 7.44 vs 58.41 +/- 3.01%, respectively; p=0.002) areas. The FAZ in the BD group was significantly increased at the level of the superficial (0.52 +/- 0.67 vs 0.28 +/- 0.1 mm(2), respectively; p=0.05) and deep (0.91 +/- 1.25 vs 0.39 +/- 0.14 mm(2), respectively; p=0.024) areas compared with those of the control group. The deep and the superficial FAZ areas were positively correlated with disease duration and negatively with VA.Conclusionp id=ParIn the patients with BD, OCTA showed decreased VD in both the superficial and deep retinal vascular networks. Besides, the VA was correlated with the VD and FAZ.

    Early detection of macular and peripapillary changes with spectralis optical coherence tomography in patients with prediabetes
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Sahin, Muhammed; Sahin, Alparslan; Kilinc, Faruk; Karaalp, Umit; Yuksel, Harun; Ozkurt, Zeynep Gursel; Turkcu, Fatih Mehmet
    Purpose: To compare the retina ganglion cell complex (GCC) layer and peripapillary nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFL) in patients with prediabetes and healthy subjects analysed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Methods: This cross-sectional and comparative study included prediabetic patients and healthy subjects. All participants underwent SD-OCT measurement of pRNFL thickness, and GCC thickness. Results: A total of 30 eyes of the 30 patients with prediabetes and 30 eyes of 30 controls were included. The overall calculated pRNFL thicknesses were similar between the prediabetic and control subjects. The GCC thickness was significantly lower in all quadrants of the inner macula, and outer nasal quadrant in the prediabetes group when compared to the control group. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that inner macular GCC thickness was significantly thinner in prediabetic subjects. As a result neurodegeneration may play role in the thinning of GCC.

    OCTA Imaging of Choroidal Neovascular Membrane Secondary to Toxoplasma Retinochoroiditis
    (Slack Inc, 2017) Turkcu, Fatih Mehmet; Sahin, Alparslan; Yuksel, Harun; Sahin, Muhammed; Karaalp, Umit
    Two patients (a 37-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman) who had choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring were evaluated. Multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) was used. CNVM secondary to inactive toxoplasma retinochoroiditis scarring was detected. Representative images of CNVM were demonstrated in the outer retinal layer and choriocapillary layer on OCTA. OCTA, a relatively new technique, is useful in the diagnosis of the CNVMs secondary to retinochoroiditis.

    Optical coherence tomography angiography findings in a case with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Turkcu, Fatih Mehmet; Karaalp, Umit; Sahin, Muhammed; Sahin, Alparslan; Keklikci, Ugur
    Twenty-six-year-old male patient admitted to the outpatient clinic with a complaint of decreased vision in both eyes. Visual acuity was 2/10 in the right and 7/10 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed bilateral yellow-white subretinal lesions involving the macula. Fluorescein angiography showed hypofluorescent lesions in early and hyperflourescent lesions in the late phase. Optical coherence tomography angiography performed in the acute phase showed bilateral hypofluorescency at the choriocapillary level. A diagnosis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy was given. After steroid treatment, visual acuity was improved to 10/10 and earlier lesions in optical coherence tomography angiography were found to be reduced. In conclusion, optical coherence tomography angiography is a noninvasive imaging technique that can be used in the diagnosis and follow-up of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy.
