Abstract
Introduction

To assess if there are any differences in macular and papillary thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared with a control group, including if there are differences between ADHD patients with and without treatment.

Methods

Prospective observational study including 92 eyes of 46 patients divided into 2 groups: 46 eyes of 23 patients with ADHD, and a control group of 46 eyes of 23 healthy patients. The group of patients with ADHD was subdivided into those on treatment with methylphenidate (n=28) and those not on treatment (n=18). The macular thickness, the ganglion cell complex (GCC), and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) at the papillary level were measured in 12 sectors.

Results

A lower central macular thickness was observed in the ADHD patients than in the controls (257.4±20μm versus 267.5±20μm, p=0.013), with no differences observed in the GCC (p=0.566), or in the RNFL (p=0.095). There were no differences in the patients with ADHD with and without treatment, as regards macular thickness and the GCC (p=0.160 and p=0.375 respectively), but a lower foveal thickness (p=0.018) and RNFL in 5/12 sectors at the papillary level (p=0.033) were observed in those without treatment.

Conclusions

A lower macular thickness was observed in patients with ADHD than in controls. In addition, patients with ADHD without treatment had a lower thickness of the fovea and RNFL than those patients on treatment.

Resumen
Introducción

Determinar si existen diferencias en el grosor macular y papilar mediante tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) en pacientes con trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) comparando con un grupo control, evaluando además si existen diferencias entre pacientes con TDAH con y sin tratamiento.

Métodos

Estudio transversal en el que se incluyó a 92 ojos de 46 pacientes, divididos en 2 grupos: 46 ojos de 23 pacientes con TDAH y un grupo control de 46 ojos de 23 sujetos. El grupo de pacientes con TDAH se subdividió en aquellos con tratamiento con metilfenidato o derivados (n=28) y aquellos sin tratamiento (n=18). Se midió el grosor macular, el complejo de células ganglionares (CCG) y la capa de fibras nerviosas de la retina (CFNR) a nivel papilar en 12 sectores.

Resultados

Se observó un menor grosor macular central en los TDAH que en controles (257,4±20μm vs. 267,5±20μm; p=0,013), no observándose diferencias en el CCG (p ≥ 0,566), ni en la CFNR (p ≥ 0,095). En los pacientes con TDAH con y sin tratamiento no se observaron diferencias en el grosor macular ni en el CCG (p ≥ 0,160 y 0,375, respectivamente), pero se objetivó un menor grosor foveal (p=0,018) y de la CFNR en 5/12 sectores a nivel papilar (p ≤ 0,033) en aquellos sin tratamiento.

Conclusiones

Se observó un menor grosor macular en los pacientes con TDAH que en controles. Además, los pacientes con TDAH sin tratamiento presentaron un menor grosor foveal y de la CFNR que aquellos pacientes en tratamiento.
