摘      要：AIM:To measure the central choroidal thickness(ChT)in children and adolescents with anxiety ***:Totally 41 anxiety patients(8-16 y)and 35 healthy controls(age-matched)were *** ophthalmic examination was *** criteria were best corrected visual acuity≥20/20,normal intraocular pressure(IOP;10-21 mm Hg),and no systemic or ocular diseases according to *** diagnosis of psychiatric disorders was determined using Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children Present-Lifetime Version(K-SADS-PL).Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography(EDI-OCT)was used to measure the central ***:The mean age was 12.18±3.24 y in the patient group and 12.86±3.15 y in the control *** and gender distribution of the two groups was *** ChT mean value was 353.26±31.9μm in anxiety patients while 318.75±60.9μm in the control *** central ChT was statistically significantly higher in the children and adolescents with anxiety disorders than healthy controls(P=0.002).CONCLUSION:The children and adolescents with anxiety disorders have significantly thicker central ChT than *** the larger sample,longitudinal studies will contribute to the use of choroidal differences as a clinical marker for monitoring anxiety disorders.
