Early diagnostic value of optical coherence tomography in the clinical prediction model for optic nerve injury in saddle space occupying patients.

In this study, 50 patients with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy due to saddle block were selected as the experimental group, and 50 healthy subjects were used as the control group to conduct a study. The best corrected visual acuity examination, optical coherence tomography and visual evoked potential examination were performed on the two groups. The results of the study showed that the majority of patients were middle-aged and older people over the age of 50, but the youngest patients were only 37 years old. After various examinations, it was found that patients with optic nerve injury had a significant reduction in the best corrected visual acuity compared with healthy people. After the onset of the disease, the optic nerve fiber layer will first increase and then decline. During the course of the disease, the patient's optic nerve fiber layer will gradually thin to a much lower level than healthy people. And in comparing the thickness of the optic nerve fiber layer in patients with systemic disease and no systemic disease, it is found that the degree of optic nerve damage is more serious in patients with systemic diseases. After the VEP examination, the difference between the P100 wave latency and the N75-P100 amplitude of the diseased eye and the unaffected eye was statistically significant. Moreover, the difference between the patient's diseased eye and the healthy human eye is almost the same as that of the unaffected eye.
