[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the microscopic changes of optic pathway in different kinds of primary glaucoma by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and investigate the relationship to the severity of glaucoma.Materials and Methods: There were 10 cases (20 eyes in each group) in each group of chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG), acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). And 10 cases (20 eyes) of control subjects were recruited in this study. The mean defect (MD) of view was checked. All subjects underwent DTI examination. The fractional anisotropy (FA), average diffusion coefficient (ADC) of optic nerve and optic radiation were measured by MR post-processing software and were analyzed statistically. All these were analyzed by SPSS 22.0.Results FA of optic nerve were lower than that of optic radiation in CACG, AACG and POAG (P＜0.05). There were no significant statistical difference in control group (P＞0.05). FA of optic nerves and optic radiation in group CACG, AACG and POCG were significantly lower than the controls (P＜0.05). The ADC values of optic nerve in group CACG, AACG and the right optic radiation in AACG were significantly higher than controls (P＜0.05). FA of right optic nerves in group AACG were significantly lower than group CACG and POAG (P=0.015, 0.005), ADC of optic nerves in group AACG were higher than group POAG (P=0.011, 0.040), ADC of right optic radiation in group AACG were higher than group POAG (P=0.003). FA of right optic nerve in CACG and AACG were positively correlated with MD (r=0.844, P=0.002; r=0.648, P=0.043).Conclusions The parameters of DTI reflected the microstructures of the optic pathway in different kinds of primary glaucoma, which wouldbe helpful in the diagnosis, curative effect evaluation of glaucoma.
