Peripapillary Retinal Pigment Epithelium Layer Shape Changes From Acetazolamide Treatment in the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial
摘要： PURPOSE. Recent studies indicate that the amount of deformation of the peripapillary retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch’s membrane (pRPE/BM) toward or away from the vitreous may reflect acute changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The study purpose is to determine if changes in optic-nerve-head (ONH) shape reflect a treatment effect (acetazolamide/placebo + weight management) using the optical coherence tomography (OCT) substudy of the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT) at baseline, 3, and 6 months. METHODS. The pRPE/BM shape deformation was quantified and compared with ONH volume, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), and total retinal (pTR) thicknesses in the acetazolamide group (39 subjects) and placebo group (31 subjects) at baseline, 3, and 6 months. RESULTS. Mean changes of the pRPE/BM shape measure were significant and in the positive direction (away from the vitreous) for the acetazolamide group (P < 0.01), but not for the placebo group. The three OCT measures reflecting the reduction of optic disc swelling were significant in both treatment groups but greater in the acetazolamide group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS. Change in the pRPE/BM shape away from the vitreous reflects the effect of acetazolamide + weight management in reducing the pressure differential between the intraocular and retrobulbar arachnoid space. Weight management alone was also associated with a decrease in optic nerve volume/edema but without a significant change in the pRPE/BM shape, implying an alternative mechanism for improvement in papilledema and axoplasmic flow, independent of a reduction in the pressure differential.

Optic Nerve Head Volumetry by Optical Coherence Tomography in Papilledema Related to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
摘要： Purpose: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) leads to optic nerve head swelling and optic atrophy if left untreated. We wanted to assess an easy to perform volumetric algorithm to detect and quantify papilledema in comparison to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) analysis using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Participants with and without IIH underwent visual acuity testing at different contrast levels and static perimetry. Spectralis-OCT measurements comprised standard imaging of the peripapillary RNFL and macular ganglion cell layer (GCL). The optic nerve head volume (ONHV) was determined using the standard segmentation software and the 3.45 mm early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) grid, necessitating manual correction within Bruch membrane opening. Three neuro-ophthalmologists graded fundus images according to the Frisén scale. A mixed linear model (MLM) was used to determine differences between study groups. Sensitivity and specificity was evaluated using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC). Results: Twenty-one patients with IIH had an increased ONHV of 6.46 ± 2.36 mm3 as compared to 25 controls with 3.20 ± 0.25 mm3 (P < 0.001). The ONHV cutoff distinguishing IIH from controls was 3.97 mm3 (i.e. no patient with IIH had an ONHV below and no healthy individual above this value). The area under the curve (AUC) for ONHV was 0.99 and for the RNFL at 3.5 mm 0.90. The Frisén scale grading correlated higher with the ONHV (r = 0.90) than with the RNFL thickness (r = 0.68). ONHV measurements were highly reproducible in both groups (coefficient of variation <0.01%). Conclusions: OCT-based volumetry of the optic nerve head discriminates very accurately between individuals with and without IIH. It may serve as a useful adjunct to the rating with the subjective and ordinal Frisén scale. Translational Relevance: A simple OCT protocol run on the proprietary software of a commercial OCT device can reliably discriminate between normal optic nerve heads or pseudo-papilledema and true papilledema while being highly reproducible. Our normative data and OCT preset may be used in further clinical studies.

Artificial Intelligence to Detect Papilledema from Ocular Fundus Photographs
摘要： BACKGROUND Nonophthalmologist physicians do not confidently perform direct ophthalmoscopy. The use of artificial intelligence to detect papilledema and other optic-disk abnormalities from fundus photographs has not been well studied. METHODS We trained, validated, and externally tested a deep-learning system to classify optic disks as being normal or having papilledema or other abnormalities from 15,846 retrospectively collected ocular fundus photographs that had been obtained with pharmacologic pupillary dilation and various digital cameras in persons from multiple ethnic populations. Of these photographs, 14,341 from 19 sites in 11 countries were used for training and validation, and 1505 photographs from 5 other sites were used for external testing. Performance at classifying the optic-disk appearance was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity, as compared with a reference standard of clinical diagnoses by neuro-ophthalmologists. RESULTS The training and validation data sets from 6779 patients included 14,341 photographs: 9156 of normal disks, 2148 of disks with papilledema, and 3037 of disks with other abnormalities. The percentage classified as being normal ranged across sites from 9.8 to 100%; the percentage classified as having papilledema ranged across sites from zero to 59.5%. In the validation set, the system discriminated disks with papilledema from normal disks and disks with nonpapilledema abnormalities with an AUC of 0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98 to 0.99) and normal from abnormal disks with an AUC of 0.99 (95% CI, 0.99 to 0.99). In the external-testing data set of 1505 photographs, the system had an AUC for the detection of papilledema of 0.96 (95% CI, 0.95 to 0.97), a sensitivity of 96.4% (95% CI, 93.9 to 98.3), and a specificity of 84.7% (95% CI, 82.3 to 87.1). CONCLUSIONS A deep-learning system using fundus photographs with pharmacologically dilated pupils differentiated among optic disks with papilledema, normal disks, and disks with nonpapilledema abnormalities.

Custom Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters for Distinguishing Papilledema from Pseudopapilledema
摘要： SIGNIFICANCE: Causes of papilledema can be life-threatening; however, distinguishing papilledema from pseudopapilledema is often challenging. The conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan for assessing the optic nerve often fails to detect mild papilledema. Our study suggests that parameters derived from volumetric OCT scans can provide additional useful information for detecting papilledema. PURPOSE: Optical coherence tomography analysis of the optic nerve commonly measures retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) along a 1.73-mm-radius scan path. This conventional scan, however, often fails to detect mild papilledema. The purpose of this study was to evaluate additional OCT-derived measures of the optic nerve head (ONH) and peripapillary retina for differentiating papilledema (all grades and mild) from pseudopapilledema. METHODS: Cirrus OCT ONH volume scans were acquired from 21 papilledema (15 mild papilledema), 27 pseudopapilledema, and 42 control subjects. Raw scan data were exported, and total retinal thickness within Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO) plus RNFLT and total retinal thickness at the following eccentricities were calculated using custom algorithms: BMO to 250, 250 to 500, 500 to 1000, and 1000 to 1500 μm. Minimum rim width was calculated, and BMO height was measured from a 4-mm Bruch’s membrane reference plane centered on the BMO. RESULTS: Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from BMO to 250 μm, minimum rim width, and BMO height had significantly greater areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve than did conventional RNFLT for differentiating mild papilledema from pseudopapilledema (P < .0001) and greater sensitivities at 95% specificity. Using cutoff values at 95% specificity, custom parameters detected 10 mild papilledema patients, and conventional RNFLT detected only 1. Bruch’s membrane opening heights above the reference plane were observed in papilledema only, although many papilledema cases had a neutral or negative BMO height. CONCLUSIONS: Using OCT volumetric data, additional parameters describing peripapillary tissue thickness, neuroretinal rim thickness, and ONH position can be calculated and provide valuable measures for differentiating mild papilledema from pseudopapilledema.
