To discriminate between compressive optic neuropathy with glaucoma-like cupping (GL-CON) and glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) by comparing the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this retrospective cross-sectional study, OCT scans were performed on 28 eyes of GL-CON, 34 eyes of GON, and 41control eyes to determine the pRNFL thickness, ganglion cell complex thickness, and cup/disc ratio. OCTA scans were conducted for 12 eyes of GL-CON, 15 eyes of GON, and 15 control eyes to measure the vessel density of the peripapillary and macular areas. Analysis of covariance was used to perform the comparisons, and the area under the curve was calculated. The GON eyes had a significantly thinner pRNFL in the inferior quadrant and greater vertical cup/disc ratio than the GL-CON eyes. In the radial peripapillary capillary segment, the vessel density of the GON in the inferior sectors was significantly lower than in the GL-CON. The superficial macular vessel density in the whole-image, peritemporal, perinasal, and peri-inferior sectors was significantly smaller in the GON group than in the GL-CON group. The best parameter for discriminating between GL-CON and GON was the superficial macular vessel density in the peritemporal sector. GL-CON eyes showed a characteristic pattern of pRNFL and retinal microvascular changes. GL-CON can be effectively distinguished from GON by detecting the alterations in the pRNFL and retinal microvasculature using OCT and OCTA.

D009901 Optic Nerve Diseases Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

D012165 Retinal Ganglion Cells Neurons of the innermost layer of the retina, the internal plexiform layer. They are of variable sizes and shapes, and their axons project via the OPTIC NERVE to the brain. A small subset of these cells act as photoreceptors with projections to the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS, the center for regulating CIRCADIAN RHYTHM.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
