Eighty-six eyes of children diagnosed with CD, 31 (72.1%) girls and 12
(27.9%) boys, with a mean age of 9.9 ± 4.1 years, were enrolled in the
study. Ninety-six eyes of control children, 31 (64.6%) girls and 17
(35.4%) boys, with a mean age of 11.3 ± 4.1 years, were enrolled as the
control group. No statistically significant difference was determined
between the groups in terms of age and percentage of sex (Table 1).
All thicknesses of choroid at nasal, temporal and subfoveal points were
significantly lower in patients with CD (as mean±SD; 317.24±82,
320.1±81.86, 333.13±81.29μm, respectively) than in the control group (as
mean±SD; 379.35±62, 383.66±64.03, 400.93±64.98, respectively μm), (p
< .001, p < .001, p and p < .001,
respectively). No significant difference was observed between CD and
control groups in terms of GCC (as mean±SD of CD and control group;
superior RNFL: 125.18±19.06 and 129.62±17.34, nasal RNFL: 70.76±16.80
and 75.31±13.88, inferior RNFL: 131.08±19.40 and 133.26±15.81, temporal
RNFL: 75.17±11.41and 73.63±9.71, global RNFL: 100.51±11.76 and
103.13±9.72, GCL: 1.13±0.86 and 1.14±0.09, IPL: 0.93±0.11and 0.93±0.06
μm, p > .05 for all) (Table 2).
