PURPOSE To report the chorioretinal coloboma, and its association with increased risk of retinal detachment (RD) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS This retrospective case series included eyes with chorioretinal coloboma diagnosed between 1995 and 2014 with a focus on RD and CNV as related complications. Cases of CNV were managed with laser photocoagulation or intravitreal inject...

PURPOSE To analyze indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic findings of chorioretinal folds. METHODS Eight patients (9 eyes) in whom chorioretinal folds had been diagnosed were enrolled in this study. Color photography, fluorescein angiography (FA) and ICG angiography (IA) were performed. RESULTS Indocyanine green angiography demonstrated choroidal venous congestion and a filling delay of the c...

PURPOSE To report a new method for optical sectioning of the chorioretinal vasculature to improve the visualization of vascular abnormalities due to chorioretinal eye diseases. METHODS An imaging system was developed for optical sectioning of the vasculature called chorioretinal optical sectioning (CROS). CROS consists of projecting a laser beam at an angle on the retina after injection of a ...

Introduction Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a metabolic disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Although gyrate atrophy is rare, it is concerning as it results in blindness. It is characterized by hyperornithinemia, retinal atrophy, leads to progressive myopia and tunnel vision,...

We report a case of recurrent choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in an eye with chorioretinal coloboma. A 36-year-old woman presented complaining of decreased visual acuity (VA) in her left eye. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200 and iris coloboma was observed. Funduscopy and fluorescein angiography (FA) showed CNV in the superior extrafoveal region with chorioretinal coloboma reach...

PURPOSE To establish baseline and variability of oxygen tension (PO(2)) measurements in the choroid, retinal arteries, capillaries, and veins of spontaneously breathing anesthetized rats and determine the effect of a moderate surgical procedure on the chorioretinal PO(2). METHODS Our previously established optical section phosphorescence imaging technique was utilized to measure PO(2) in the ...

Purpose: Transscleral diode retinal photocoagulation (diopexy) is becoming an accepted technique in the treatment of selected retinal diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate diopexy technique in the production of adhesive chorioretinal lesions during the surgical treatment of the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods: 25 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were enr...

Purpose Here, we have tried to quantify the chorioretinal blood perfusion in patients who are clinically identified to be suffering from retinal ischemia using arterial spin labelling (ASL) MRI. Method Four participants, diagnosed with retinal ischemia based on their structural OCT and angiography test, were then scanned using anatomical MRI as well as ASL. We optimized MR parameters to maxim...
