Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Decrease in Obesity as a Marker of Neurodegeneration
2019
Background
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a serious condition that is frequently associated with irreversibly vision loss, having a higher incidence among obese women. Our aims were to screen subclinical IIH in obese patients scheduled to bariatric surgery using peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and to evaluate if the findings demand the possible need of a preoperative evaluation in this population.
