Purpose: To analyze the structural changes in the β-zone of peripapillary atrophy (PPA-β) using cross-sectional image of the optic disc head from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) according to the optic disc shape.
Methods: One hundred thirty-seven eyes in 137 patients with glaucoma having PPA-β and 31 normal eyes (control group) were evaluated retrospectively. Cross-sectional images of the optic disc were taken using the Cirrus HD-OCT. We classified optic disc patterns into normal, focal, myopic, generalized enlargement and senile sclerotic appearance types and analyzed the shape of Bruch’s membrane (BM), composition of retinal layer and retinal slope according to the optic disc shape.
Results: Among the 137 eyes with glaucoma, 54 eyes were focal disc type, 34 eyes were myopic disc type, 28 eyes were generalized enlargement disc type and 21 eyes were senile sclerotic disc type. The myopic disc group showed a noticeable difference compared to the other groups in terms of a higher percentage of BM defect type, the lowest retinal slope (70.6 ± 12.0°) and the earlier termination of retinal layers. The generalized enlargement disc group showed the highest percentage of curved BM type. Retinal slope angle increased with age and decreased with axial length.
Conclusions: In the β-zone of peripapillary atrophy, there were several differences in the shape of Bruch’s membrane, composition of retinal layers and the retinal slope according to the optic disc shape.
