Abstract | Little is known about the diagnostic utility of three-dimensional neuroretinal rim thickness (3D-NRRT) for differentiating patients with superior segmental optic nerve hypoplasia (SSOH) from normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Since SSOH is defined by characteristic optic nerve head features, investigation of diagnostic usefulness of 3D-NRRT is necessary. In this cross-sectional study, 49 SSOH eyes, 52 NTG eyes, and 41 normal eyes were enrolled. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) and 3D-NRRT values, as obtained in the right-eye orientation by optical coherence tomography (OCT), were recorded. On RNFLT clock-hour comparison, the 11-3 clock-hour sectors were significantly thinner for SSOH than for NTG (all P < 0.01). As for 3D-NRRT, whereas the 1 and 2 sectors were significantly thinner for SSOH (P < 0.001, P = 0.004), the 6-11 sectors were significantly thinner for NTG (all P < 0.01). The area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves of the superior and nasal quadrants of RNFLT (0.838, 0.729) were significantly greater than those of 3D-NRRT (0.518, 0.588; P < 0.001, P = 0.043). However, the AUROCs of the inferior and temporal quadrants were significantly greater for 3D-NRRT (0.728, 0.760) than for RNFLT (0.527, 0.550; P = 0.008, P = 0.019). The appropriate use of 3D-NRRT can be useful in differentiating SSOH from NTG. |
