• AMD: Outer retinal tubulations

  77yo
  

  In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), outer retinal tubulations (ORT) can present unique patterns on en-face OCT, often resembling intraretinal fluid (IRF), leading to potential misdiagnosis. In the presented case, en-face imaging shows ORT as hyporreflective interconnected branching networks extensions  surrounded by a hyperreflective borders, while dark areas without hyperreflective borders […]

• Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

  40yo
  

  In Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC), serous retinal detachment and serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED) are hallmark findings. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) reveals a hyporeflective space beneath the neurosensory retina and PEDs, often associated with focal RPE abnormalities. The leakage site at the RPE can be identified on OCT as a […]

  In degenerative myopia, situs inversus refers to the tilted insertion of the optic disc, commonly associated with retinal and choroidal changes. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) B-scan often shows tilted scans due to the oblique orientation of posterior pole structures. This tilting can distort retinal layer visualization, requiring careful interpretation to […]

• Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

  79yo
  

  Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) should be investigated when subretinal fluid (SRF) is observed adjacent to the optic disc. En-face OCT imaging at the level of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) is a valuable tool for detecting SRF in these cases, providing a detailed view of fluid distribution and its impact on […]

• AMD: Disciform scar

  77yo
  

  In advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disciform scar represents the end stage of neovascular AMD. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) shows hyperreflective fibrotic tissue replacing normal retinal layers, with possible subretinal fluid or retinal thinning. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) reveals hypoautofluorescence due to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy, with surrounding hyperautofluorescence […]

• Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

  48yo
  

  In acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) reveals subretinal fluid as a hyporeflective space between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The absence of significant intraretinal fluid differentiates CSC from other causes of macular edema. OCT is essential for diagnosing, monitoring resolution, and assessing […]

• Multifocal Best’s vitelliform dystrophy

  33yo
  

  Multifocal Best vitelliform dystrophy is a rare retinal condition characterized by multiple yellowish vitelliform lesions scattered across the posterior pole. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) shows hyperautofluorescent lesions due to lipofuscin accumulation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Over time, areas of hypoautofluorescence may appear, indicating RPE atrophy. FAF is crucial for […]

• Drusen

  37yo
  

  The presence of drusen in a young woman may suggest inherited or systemic conditions rather than typical age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Conditions like familial drusen, basal laminar drusen, or early-onset drusen should be considered. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can reveal their size and location, and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) may show […]

• Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

  81yo
  

  Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) should be investigated when subretinal fluid is observed adjacent to the optic disc. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is useful in these cases, as it highlights retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes. Areas of hyperautofluorescence indicate RPE stress, while hypoautofluorescence suggests atrophy, aiding in the identification of PCV-related abnormalities. […]

• Secondary macular telangiectasia (BRVO)

  70yo
  

  Secondary macular telangiectasia  due to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is characterized by vascular changes in the macula. Fluorescein angiography (FA) reveals dilated and tortuous macular capillaries, areas of leakage, and capillary telangiectasia. FA helps assess the extent of macular involvement, guiding management decisions such as anti-VEGF therapy to address […]

• Myopic macular neovascularization

  40yo
  

  Myopic macular neovascularization (MNV) located in the superior parafoveal region can be effectively treated with anti-VEGF therapy. After treatment, the lesion appears as an area of hypoautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence (FAF), indicating resolution of neovascular activity and associated damage to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). FAF is a useful tool […]

• Ocular toxoplasmosis: Chorioretinitis scars

  67yo
  

  In ocular toxoplasmosis, chorioretinitis scars can reveal underlying structures such as the posterior long ciliary artery and nerve. These become visible due to the localized atrophy of the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and choroid, allowing clearer visualization of the deeper scleral and vascular structures. #Toxoplasmosis #ChorioretinitisScar #PosteriorCiliaryArtery #RetinaImaging #FAF […]
