Eighty-six eyes of children diagnosed with CD, 31 (72.1%) girls and 12 (27.9%) boys, with a mean age of 9.9 ± 4.1 years, were enrolled in the study. Ninety-six eyes of control children, 31 (64.6%) girls and 17 (35.4%) boys, with a mean age of 11.3 ± 4.1 years, were enrolled as the control group. No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups in terms of age and percentage of sex (Table 1).
All thicknesses of choroid at nasal, temporal and subfoveal points were significantly lower in patients with CD (as mean±SD; 317.24±82, 320.1±81.86, 333.13±81.29μm, respectively) than in the control group (as mean±SD; 379.35±62, 383.66±64.03, 400.93±64.98, respectively μm), (p < .001, p < .001, p and p < .001, respectively). No significant difference was observed between CD and control groups in terms of GCC (as mean±SD of CD and control group; superior RNFL: 125.18±19.06 and 129.62±17.34, nasal RNFL: 70.76±16.80 and 75.31±13.88, inferior RNFL: 131.08±19.40 and 133.26±15.81, temporal RNFL: 75.17±11.41and 73.63±9.71, global RNFL: 100.51±11.76 and 103.13±9.72, GCL: 1.13±0.86 and 1.14±0.09, IPL: 0.93±0.11and 0.93±0.06 μm, p > .05 for all) (Table 2).
