Does Pediatric OSAS with Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy Impact on the Choroidal Thickness of Children?

Abstract

Purpose: To determine the changes in choroidal thickness of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) as a result of adenotonsillar enlargement versus normal controls.

Materials and Methods: This study was consist of 39 pediatric OSAS individuals and 39 age,sex and body mass index-matched healthy children. Choroidal thicknesses of the patients and normal controls were analyzed by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. The choroidal thicknesses were measured in the subfoveal, nasal, as well as temporal areas. The spherical equivalent, intraocular pressure, and then axial length were additionally measured. 

Results: Statistically notable difference in the choroidal thicknesses were not found in any areas between the groups. No statistically significant differences were found in between spherical equivalent, intraocular pressure, and axial length values of the two groups. 

Conclusion: These results show that adenotonsillar hypertrophy does not result in a major impact on choroidal thickness of children
