Retinal and choroidal thickness in children with familial mediterranean Fever.
[familial mediterranean fever]
Abstract
Purpose
:
The
aim
of
the
present
study
was
to
evaluate
retinal
and
choroidal
thicknesses
in
children
with
familial
Mediterranean
fever
(
FMF
)
.
Thirty
patients
with
FMF
and
28
healthy
controls
were
included
in
the
study
.
The
thicknesses
of
the
retina
and
choroid
of
each
subject
's
right
eye
were
measured
at
the
fovea
and
horizontal
nasal
and
temporal
quadrants
at
500
-
µm
intervals
to
1500
 
µm
from
the
foveal
center
using
spectral-domain
optic
coherence
tomography
.
Retinal
and
choroidal
thicknesses
at
the
fovea
did
not
differ
between
groups
(
p
 
=
 
0
.
32
and
p
 
=
 
0
.
39
,
respectively
)
.
Horizontal
nasal
and
temporal
retinal
and
choroidal
thickness
measurements
at
500
-
µm
intervals
to
a
distance
of
1500
 
µm
from
the
foveal
center
were
also
similar
between
the
groups
(
all
p
 
>
 
0
.
05
)
.
The
retinal
and
choroidal
thicknesses
of
children
with
FMF
do
not
differ
from
those
of
age-
and
sex-matched
healthy
controls
.
