Subclinical Signs of Retinal Involvement in Hereditary Angioedema
To explore retinal abnormalities using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCT-A) in a highly selective cohort of patients with type I hereditary angioedema (HAE). This prospective case-control study included 40 type I HAE patients and 40 age-/sex-matched healt...

This prospective case-control study included 40 type I HAE patients and 40 age-/sex-matched healthy subjects (HC). All participants underwent SD-OCT-scanning of retinal posterior pole (PP), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), and optic nerve head (ONH).

The ONH thickness in HAE patients was greater than in HC in the nasal (<i>p</i> = 0.008 left, <i>p</i> = 0.01 right), temporal (<i>p</i> = 0.0005 left, <i>p</i> = 0.003 right), temporal inferior (<i>p</i> = 0.007 left, <i>p</i> = 0.0008 right), and global (<i>p</i> = 0.005 left, <i>p</i> = 0.007 right) scans. Compared to HC, HAE showed a lower capillary density in both superficial (<i>p</i> = 0.001 left, <i>p</i> = 0.006 right) and deep (<i>p</i> = 0.008 left, <i>p</i> = 0.004 right) whole images, and superficial (<i>p</i> = 0.03 left) and deep parafoveal (<i>p</i> = 0.007 left, <i>p</i> = 0.005 right) areas.
