Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and thalamus pathology in multiple sclerosis patients
Abstract
Visual impairments are frequent in multiple sclerosis (MS). Optic neuritis can directly reduce retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Our objectives were to evaluate associations of the RNFL thickness (RNFLT) of MS patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of regional brain atrophy and tissue injury in the post‐chiasmatic deep gray matter (GM) section of the visual pathway.
