Subfoveal and Peripapillary Choroidal Assessment in Multiple Sclerosis with Unilateral Optic Neuritis

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate subfoveal and peripapillary choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in multiple sclerosis patients post-optic neuritis.
• Measured subfoveal and peripapillary CVI in multiple sclerosis patients with unilateral optic neuritis.
• Conducted assessments within a standardized 3-12-month post-onset period.
• Analyzed retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness alongside CVI measurements.
• Subfoveal CVI was significantly higher within the 3-12-month post-ON period.
• Peripapillary CVI showed no significant differences across groups despite RNFL thinning.
• CVI and RNFL assessments provided complementary insights into neurovascular changes.
