NCT ID: NCT02793206 Completed - Optic Disc Drusen Clinical Trials

Spectral Domain OCT Imaging in Patients With Optic Nerve Head Drusen (Tuebingen SD-OCT IN OPTIC NERVE HEAD DRUSEN STUDY)

TODS
Start date: August 1, 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Optic nerve head Drusen are a mostly bilateral change of the optic nerve, eventually causing a slow, but progression loss of the visual fields. Characteristic are the crystalline deposits at the entrance of the optic nerve, the so called optic disc. The material consists of calcium, calcium phosphate, iron, but also amino acids and polysaccharides. The diagnose is made or confirmed by different imaging modalities like ultrasound and auto-fluorescence imaging. By using the high-resolution imaging with spectral-domain optical coherence imaging (SD-OCT) the volume and deposits at the optic disc can be measured and quantified. The purpose of this study whether and how defects in the visual fields are related to the deposits. Multimodal imaging of the optic nerve head is planned within the cross-sectional study, at two different time intervals (2 years). Changes in retinal fibre layer (RNFL) thickness and disc parameters are analyzed. Presence and extent of auto-fluorescent changes are evaluated. The prospective trial wants to clarify whether certain parameters at baseline indicate the further outcome and development.
