Topic: Amyloid, tau and blood-test diagnosis
Background/aims To identify the retinal vascular pathologies in patients with Alzheimer's type dementia (ATD) through optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging. Methods Our study included 26 patients in the patient group, and age-matched and sex-matched 26 subjects in the control group. A detailed ophthalmological and neurological examination was performed for all subjects included in the study.

Key findings
- Methods Our study included 26 patients in the patient group, and age-matched and sex-matched 26 subjects in the control group.
- A detailed ophthalmological and neurological examination was performed for all subjects included in the study.
- The retinal, choroidal vascular structures and choroidal thickness (CT) of all subjects were analysed in a detailed way with a commercial spectral domain OCTA.
- Moreover, all participants underwent detailed neurological examination including Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) test to evaluate cognitive function.
Why it matters
This study used optical coherence tomography angiography to look for retinal vascular pathologies in 26 patients with Alzheimer's type dementia compared with 26 matched control subjects. It examines an eye imaging finding and does not treat, cure or prevent the disease.
