Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Circumscribed choroidal haemangioma (CCH) is an uncommon, potentially congenital benign vascular hamartomas which typically manifests as an elevated mass with reddish-orange pigmentation located posteriorly to the equator, mostly in the macular and peripapillary region. Despite its benign nature, cystoid macular edema (CME) or SRF due to the exudations from the exudative CCH can cause visual impairment. Diagnosis is often suspected clinically, and multimodal imaging is useful for the differential diagnosis of CCH from other malignant tumors such as melanoma. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a rapid, non-invasive, new imaging technology which could provide the capillary density (CD) of superficial and deep capillary plexus as well as the CD of choriocapillaris of the superficial, the latter two of which could not be seen on conventional FA or ICGA. However, little knowledge is known about the parafoveal microvasculature changes in eyes with exudative CCH on OCTA. Therefore, it is necessary to quantitative evaluation of parafoveal microvasculature changes in eyes with exudative CCH compared with healthy eyes without any disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cross-sectional, case-control study to use OCTA to quantitative evaluation of parafoveal microvasculature changes in Eyes with exudative CCH compared with age- and gender-controlled healthy eyes.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

10 years to 80 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

There are two groups in this study: one is the exudative CCH group,and the other is the healthy eye control group. They performed OCTA at baseline.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • For patients with exudative CCH, the inclusion criteria were treatment naïve patients with exudative CCH which caused subfoveal retinal detachment and/or intraretinal fluid. For the healthy eye control group, only one eye (randomized by computer) of a subject was included, and the included eyes should have no ocular diseases and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) should be 20/20 or better.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • without any other ocular diseases or any severe uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension, coronary heart disease, liver failure, and kidney failure. all the subjects with high diopter > -6D, long eye axis > 26.0 mm, or the quality of the acquired OCTA images below 7/10 should be excluded from this study.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
