Vascular occlusion in serpiginous choroidopathy

Indocyanine green angiographic findings in serpiginous choroidopathy.

AIMS Analysis of the choroidal findings in patients affected by serpiginous choroidopathy (SC). METHODS Thirteen patients (23 eyes; 11 males and two females; age range 50-68 years; mean age 59.1 years) affected by SC were examined with fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). The follow up period was 7-33 months. RESULTS Using ICGA the disease could be divided ...

Serpiginous choroidopathy presenting as choroidal neovascularisation.

Imaging serpiginous choroidopathy with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

The use of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the study of chronic serpiginous choroiditis was evaluated. Two patients with chronic serpiginous choroiditis were imaged using two prototype SD-OCT systems (6-microm axial resolution). Raster scans covering 6 x 6 X 2-mm regions of the retina were obtained, enabling the study of different retinal cross-sectional images. Thickne...

Early treatment with cyclosporin in serpiginous choroidopathy maintains remission and good visual outcome.

AIMS To describe management and clinical outcomes of serpiginous choroidopathy treated primarily with cyclosporin at a tertiary uveitis referral centre METHODS A case series of 14 eyes of seven patients with serpiginous choroidopathy with follow up ranging from 1.3 to 13 years is described. All patients had fundus lesions consistent with serpiginous choroidopathy, were investigated for system...

Serpiginous cholesteatoma mimicking a vascular channel.

A 36-year-old male who had history of hearing loss since childhood presented with a chronically discharging right ear. HRCT temporal bones revealed non-dependent opacification in the epiand meso-tympanum with medially displaced head of malleus, erosion of incus and the tegmen tympani suspicious for an attic cholesteatoma. In addition, there was a serpiginous structure seen extending across the ...
