METHOD FOR EARLY DIAGNOSTICS OF OPTICAL NEUROPATHY AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF SYSTEMATIC OR COMBINED CHEMOTHERAPY IN CHILDREN WITH RETINOBLASTOMA Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61B3/00 A61F9/00 

FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology.

SUBSTANCE: spectral optical coherence tomography of the disc area of the optic nerve is performed, and when the volume of the neuroretinal girdle is 0.87 mm³ or more, the anterior thickness of the nerve fiber layer is 0.39 mm or more, optical neuropathy is diagnosed, manifested by edema of the optic nerve disc. When the volume of the neuroretinal girdle is 0.86 mm³ or less and the average thickness of the nerve fiber layer is 0.38 mm or less, optical neuropathy is diagnosed, which is manifested by atrophy of the optic nerve disc.

EFFECT: method allows adjusting the tactics of treatment, conducting the early accompanying anti-inflammatory, decongestant therapy, preventing the progression of atrophy of the optic nerve disc.
