Purpose: To determine whether disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) on OCT is associated with ischemia on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA) and with visual outcomes in eyes with acute, treatment-naive central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Design: Retrospective, single-institution, longitudinal cohort study.Participants: Twenty-five consecutive patients with treatment-naive CRVO and > 1-year follow-up.Methods: Two independent masked graders evaluated the extent of DRIL, ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption, external limiting membrane (ELM) disruption, and other OCT parameters at the baseline, 6-month, 12-month, and final visits. Baseline UWFFA images were assessed for ischemic index values and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enlargement.Main Outcome Measures: Associations of DRIL with UWFFA findings and clinical outcomes including corrected visual acuity (VA).Results: The median time to final follow-up was 24 months (range, 12.1e43.9 months). Median DRIL extent at baseline was 765 mu m (range, 0-1000 mm). Eighteen of 25 eyes (72%) had some degree of DRIL at baseline, and 20 of 25 eyes (80%) had cystoidmacular edema (CME). Neither the presence nor extent of DRIL at baselinewas associated with presenting VA. In a cross-sectional analysis of each visit, extent of DRIL correlated with worse VA at both the 6-month (r = 0.656; P = 0.001) and final (r = 0.509; P = 0.016) visits. At final follow-up, DRIL extent was the OCT parameter most strongly correlated with baseline ischemic index (r = 0.418; P = 0.047) and baseline enlarged FAZ (P = 0.057) onUWFFA. On multivariate regression analysis, DRIL extent at final follow-up was the only OCT parameter associated with worse VA (P = 0.013) and remained significant when accounting for CME as a potential confounder.Conclusions: Extent of DRIL was not associated with presenting VA in treatment-naive eyes with acute CRVO. After 6 months of follow-up, however, DRIL extent correlated with worse VA and was predictive of worse VA throughout more than 2 years of follow-up. Ischemic features on UWFFA at baseline are predictive of the extent of DRIL development at final follow-up. (C) 2018 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
