Retinal vascular tortuosity: Mechanisms and measurements
M Vilela, Carlos E V Amaral, Maria Angélica Tosi Ferreira
Abstract
Retinal vessel tortuosity has been used in the diagnosis and management of different clinical situations. Notwithstanding, basic concepts, standards and tools of measurement, reliable normative data and clinical applications have many gaps or points of divergence. In this review we discuss triggering causes of retinal vessel tortuosity and resources used to assess and quantify it, as well as current limitations.
