Wide field swept source OCT angiography in acute syphilitic placoid chorioretinitis

Atypical Acute Syphilitic Posterior Placoid Chorioretinitis

A 48-year-old man presented with visual dimness in the right eye that had developed 2 weeks previously. Dilated fundus examination showed few vitreous cells and numerous yellow, placoid lesions in both eyes. His right eye had more severe serous retinal detachment involving the macula. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated early irregular hypofluorescence with late staining in the areas of the ye...

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis

BACKGROUND We describe the spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in three patients with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC). The SD-OCT images demonstrate the pathologic changes in ASPPC with a high level of anatomic detail and may provide information about the pathophysiology of the disease. FINDINGS We report a series of three consecutive pati...

Severe acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis with complete spontaneous resolution: The natural course

PURPOSE We report on a case of unilateral acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) with spontaneous resolution of the lesions, and discuss the role of an altered versus adequate immune response as the major pathogenic factor. METHODS We describe a case of acute loss of visual acuity (VA) in the left eye (LE) in a 55-year-old healthy man. RESULTS The patient presented with ...

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...
