What is The Effect of Optic Neuritis Attacks on Choroidal Vascularity Index in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis about?

## Purpose: To investigate the changes in the choroidal vascularity index (cvi) of patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) using binarization on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (edi-oct) images and to evaluate the effect of optic neuritis (on) attacks on these measurements. ## Method: Three groups were created by including forty eyes of 20 patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting ms and had a unilateral history of on attack and the randomly selected eyes of 30 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. group 1 (n = 20) consisted of the on-affected eyes of the ms patients (mson); group 2 (n = 20) included their fellow healthy eyes (msnon); group 3 (n = 30) included the eyes of healthy controls. ## Results: The mean age was 33.3 ± 9.4 years in the ms group and 33.4 ± 11.1 years in the healthy control group. mean choroidal vascularity index (cvi) was significantly lower in the mson group than the msnon group (59.6 ± 3.72 % vs 61.7 ± 3.16 %, p = 0.007). the cvi values of both the mson and msnon groups were significantly lower when compared to the controls (63.9 ± 2.76) (p < 0.001, p = 0.030). compared to controls, the subfoveal total choroidal area and luminal
