EFFECT OF THE INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES ON CHOROIDAL AND MACULAR THICKNESS

Abstract

Abstract

Objective: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are a group of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ophthalmic disorders might occur in IBD. The most common findings are episcleritis and uveitis.Then purpose of the study was to evaulate the choroidal and macular thickness (MT and CT) in the  IBD and to check it with the disease activity.

Methods: IBD group was including 50 patients and the control group consisted of 50 healty volunteers.  All participants were tested with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The CT values were obtained at seven different points.

Results: Mean duration of the IBD was 3.9 ±1.5 years. Foveal macular thickness was 258.1 ± 14.2 µm in study group and 262.7 ± 20.9 µm in the control group. There was not significant difference between groups(P=0,19). Subfoveal, temporal 500 µm, 1000 µm, and 1500 µm CT measurements were respectively statistically significant in the study group (p<0.001). Mean CT  was 289.8 ± 25.6 µm in study group and 273.9 ± 33.2 µm in the control group. There was a significant difference between groups (P=0.008). There was no correlation  between mean CT and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein level and other  clinical parameters (P˃ 0,05).

Conclusion: Inflammation of the bowels might affect the choroidal vascular structure.

İNFLAMATUAR BAĞIRSAK HASTALIKLARININ KOROİDAL VE MAKULAR KALINLIK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

ÖZET

Amaç: Crohn hastalığı (CD) ve ülseratif kolit (ÜK) bir grup inflamatuar barsak hastalığıdır (IBD) .IBD'de oftalmik bozukluklar ortaya çıkabilir. En sık görülen bulgular episklerit ve üveittir. Çalışmanın amacı IBD'deki koroidal ve maküla kalınlığını (MT ve CT) değerlendirmek ve bunu hastalık aktivitesi ile kontrol etmektir.

Yöntem: IBD grubu 50 hastanın 50 sağ gözünü içeriyorken, kontrol grubu ise 50 sağlıklı gönüllünün herhangi bir gözünden oluşmuştu. Tüm katılımcılar spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) ile test edildi. CT değerleri yedi farklı noktada elde edildi.

Bulgular: IBD'nin ortalama süresi 3.9 ± 1.5 yıl idi. Foveal maküler kalınlık; çalışma grubunda 258.1 ± 14.2 µm, kontrol grubunda 262.7 ± 20.9 µm idi. Gruplar arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (P = 0,19). Subfoveal, temporal 500 µm, 1000 µm ve 1500 µm CT ölçümleri, çalışma grubunda sırasıyla istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p <0.001). Çalışma grubunda ortalama BT 289.8 ± 25.6 µm, kontrol grubunda 273.9 ± 33.2 µm idi. Gruplar arasında anlamlı fark vardı (P = 0.008). Ortalama BT ve eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı, C-reaktif protein düzeyi ve diğer klinik parametreler arasında korelasyon yoktu (P = 0,05).

Sonuç: Bağırsak iltihabı, koroidal vasküler yapıyı etkileyebilir.

Anahtar kelimeler: koroidal kalınlık, inflamatuar bağırsak hastalıkları, makuler kalınlık
