Macular ganglion cell complex thinning in children with visual field defects due to central nervous system pathology 2019-11-13 .txt text/plain 4060 182 48 PURPOSE: To study the relationship between macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness and visual field defects (VFD) caused by central nervous system (CNS) lesions in children and evaluate the possibility of predicting VFD according to GCC maps. METHODS: The GCC maps of a group of children with VFD due to CNS lesions with respect of the vertical meridian in at least one eye (study group), as well as of children with other neuro-ophthalmological problems and healthy children were presented to two masked evaluators, who were asked to predict the patients' VFD on the basis of GCC damage: the evaluators classified VFD as normal, hemianopia (homonymous or heteronymous) or diffuse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between reduction in macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness as detected with spectral-domain OCT and visual field defects caused by central nervous system lesions in children, as well as to determine whether it is possible to predict visual field defects from GCC maps. ./cache/cord-013546-3ff933jc.txt ./txt/cord-013546-3ff933jc.txt
