The Angio-OCT shows the typical and characteristic vascularization of the choroidal patch. The vessels in the patch have different direction compared to the surrounding choroid.

Genetic dystrophy + CME
A 29-year-old patient came to consultation to investigate her genetic disorder further. She has a confirmed diagnosis of a retinal inherited disorder and she already did a genetic test that came out negative. Her VA oscillates between 2/10 and 3/10 in both eyes.

The radial scan shows a Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) and an increased thickness of the choroid (pachychoroid).

Follow up: Patient came to the follow-up consultation, five months after the previous one. She doesn’t report any particular changes in her situation. The left eye is stable. In the right eye, a Lamellar Macular Hole (LMH) is formed from the previous CME. A reduction of the macular thickness is also reported.

Follow up: Patient came to the first follow-up after the surgery (PPV + silicon oil extraction + removal of the strand + endolaser + silicon oil injection). intraretinal PFCL bubbles are evident.
Follow up: Patient came to the follow-up after the second surgery. Irregular retinal profile but attached. Some really small PFCL bubbles are visible extrafoveal consultation.

Cross-sectional scans and 3-D Renderings showing NVD, “Tabletop” Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD), Tractional Schisis on points of Vitreoretinal Adhesion, Posterior Pole Epiretinal Gliosis/ERM, Intraretinal Fluid/Diabetic Macular oedema (DMO) and Intravitreal red Blood Cells (RBC).

OCT-A clearly shows Mid and Peripheral Non-Perfusion (Ischaemia) with “Pruning” of the Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) in the Right Eye and a well-perfused Fovea in the Left Eye, in a non-invasive manner. OCT-A ruled out any Neovascularization Elsewhere (NVE).

Cross-sectional scans show the presence of Intraretinal Fluid/DMO and ruled out the presence of a PVD, though a cleavage plane between the posterior cortical vitreous and the neuroretina is already visible, and the left eye already shows a weiss ring in the process of detaching form the ONH.

Navigated Peripheral Cross-Sectional OCT scans confirmed the presence of retinal tears when not clear on ophthalmoscopy and revealed the presence of an elevated retina with subretinal fluid/subclinical retinal detachment (RD) and vitreous attachment/traction, possibly indicating the high risk of progression.

OD Tuft

The Cross-Sectional scans revealed an attached vitreous. Inferiorly, a round area of one-disc diameter and compatible with pre-retinal fibrosis was noted. Navigated Peripheral OCT scans showed a visually striking and elevated lesion compatible with a large vitreoretinal tuft. Note the absence of retinal hole/tear and the presence of a vitreous attachment.
