Retinal peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness in neuromyelitis optica.
To measure the thickness of retinal peripapillary nerve fibers throughout the course of neuromyelitis optica (NMO). ⋯ This is the first study to produce measurements of the thickness of retinal peripapillary nerve fibers during optic neuropathies of NMO. The optic neuropathies of NMO are also accompanied by an acute and chronic axonal loss, as clearly illustrated by the OCT.
