- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the association of peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RFNL) thinning and macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) with white and grey matter brain volume in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with and without an optic neuritis history. The study performed retinal examination with spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The result of the study shows that the GCL and RNFL were linked to whole brain as well as grey and white matter atrophy.
