PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in the retinal and optic disc (OD) microcirculation in patients with Wilson's disease (WD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional comparative study included 35 eyes of 35 WD patients (study group) and 36 eyes of 36 healthy participants (control group). The patients with WD were divided into subgroups based on the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings. All the participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, including OCTA.
RESULTS: The inferior perifoveal deep capillary plexus vessel density (DCP-VD), inferior radial peripapillary capillary vessel density (RPC-VD), and inferior peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (PPRNFL) thickness were significantly lower in the WD group than in the healthy participants (p=0.041, p=0.043, and p=0.045, respectively). In addition, in the subgroup analysis, the superior RPC-VD and inferior PPRNFL were significantly lower in the subgroup with Kayser-Fleischer rings (p=0.013 and p=0.041, respectively).
CONCLUSION: We showed there to be changes in certain OCTA parameters in WD patients when compared with healthy controls. Thus, we hypothesized that OCTA could detect any retinal microvascular changes in WD patients without clinical evidence of retinal or OD involvement.
