摘要
Objectives: To determine whether retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) atrophy in the afferent visual pathway may complement existing tools used to describe and characterize differences across MS subtypes. Methods: Optical coherence tomography-measured RNFL values were compared over two years in 35 patients (70 eyes) with optic neuritis (ON) as a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS): 39 patients (78 eyes) with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS); and 7 patients (14 eyes) with secondary progressive MS (SPMS). Results: RNFL comparisons involving eyes without ON yielded greater differences between MS subtypes than ON-affected eyes. Overall RNFL values in non-affected eyes were reduced in SPMS patients (83.4 W), relative to CIS (101.2 mu m) (p = 0.0009), and RRMS patients (103.7 mu m) (p = 0.001); and temporal RNFL atrophy was greater in RRMS (64.4 mu m) eyes as compared to CIS eyes (73.2 mu m) (p = 0.02). In ON-affected eyes, RNFL atrophy was greater in SPMS patients (39.5 mu m) than CIS patients (58.1 mu m) (p = 0.03), and in RRMS patients (48.2 mu m) relative to CIS patients (p=0.05). RNFL values did not change significantly for any MS subtype during the two-year duration of the study. Interpretation: RNFL thickness may represent a structural marker, which can help distinguish MS subtypes, because the extent of atrophy is commensurate with disease progression. RNFL comparisons between non-affected eyes revealed greater differences between CIS, RRMS, and SPMS patients relative to ON-affected eyes, because the impact of prior ON may supplant the effects of disease subtype.
