Abstract
We read with interest the article by Touzé et al. entitled ‘Retinal vascular abnormalities in children with Neurofibromatosis type 1’. The Authors assessed clinical retinal microvascular abnormalities (RVAs) characteristics in a large series of children affected by NF1 on near-infrared imaging. The overall prevalence of RVAs was 37.1% in accordance with the results of Moramarco et al. This is notable as vascular tortuosity is a phenotype reported with variable appearance and frequency in clinical studies as opposed to corkscrew pattern, for whom an excellent interobserver agreement was observed| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
