Swept-Source OCT Angiography of Serpiginous Choroiditis

Swept-Source OCT Angiography: SS OCT AngioTM

Swept-source OCT angiography of macular telangiectasia type 2.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate the central macular microvascular network in patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel2) using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based microangiography (OMAG). PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective, observational study of patients with MacTel2 evaluated using a swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) prototype. OMAG was performed using a 3 mm × 3 mm central foveal...

Long-term immunosuppressive treatment of serpiginous choroiditis.

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of immunosuppressive treatment in serpiginous choroiditis. DESIGN The clinical courses were reviewed of six consecutive patients (12 eyes) with vision-threatening, steroid-dependent/resistant serpiginous choroiditis treated with a combination of immunosuppressive agents including azathioprine, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide. All patients underwent treat...

Subretinal and disc neovascularisation in serpiginous choroiditis.

Three out of 15 patients with serpiginous choroiditis who have been followed up for 1 to 10 years (mean 4.9 years) developed subretinal neovascularisation in the macula. In one eye new vessels were treated with argon laser without attaining permanent obliteration, in the second eye the neovascular membrane was regarded as untreatable because it was under the fovea, and in the third eye new vess...

A Novel Strategy for Quantifying Choriocapillaris Flow Voids Using Swept-Source OCT Angiography

Purpose To achieve reproducible imaging of the choriocapillaris and associated flow voids using swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA). Methods Subjects were enrolled and SS-OCTA was performed using the 3 × 3 mm scan pattern. Blood flow was identified using the complex optical microangiography (OMAG) algorithm. The choriocapillaris was defined as a slab from the outer boundary of Bruch's memb...
