Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in a Patient with Leber’s Idiopathic Stellate Neuroretinitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a 48 years old man with Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis. Ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed serous retinal detachment (SRD) and marked hard exudates in the papillomacular region. Imaging with OCT revealed an accumulation of fluid in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and the inner nuclear layer (INL) space. In addition, hyper-reflective deposits, corresponding to hard exudates, were also detected in the ONL and OPL. In this patient with Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis, OCT was useful for visualizing SRD and localizing hard exudates in the ONL and OPL.

PURPOSE Leber's idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis (LIN) is a rare condition that has been always considered an inflammatory disease, with emphasis given to the optic disc and neuroretina alterations. METHODS A healthy 54-year-old woman presented a sudden loss of vision in the left eye, referring to periocular pain, headache, and mild fever for 1 month. Tests of best-corrected visual acuity, ...

Our purpose is to report a case of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) in which an ophthalmoscopically visible worm was found and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans allowed the precise localization of the parasite in the intraretinal layers. Our findings suggest that the parasite moves in the inner portions of the retina possibly explaining the severe degenerative neural cha...
