Sickle cell retinopathy
42yoIn sickle cell retinopathy, black sunburst lesions are areas of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) hyperplasia and migration resulting from prior retinal hemorrhages. These lesions appear as dark, pigmented spots with spiculated edges, resembling a sunburst pattern. They are typically located in the mid-periphery of the retina and indicate chronic retinal […]

Retinitis pigmentosa
31yon retinitis pigmentosa (RP), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging can be performed using green and blue light. Green FAF is superior for visualizing submacular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to less absorption by macular pigment, providing detailed images of peripheral RPE atrophy. Blue FAF is sensitive to lipofuscin accumulation, useful for […]

Retinal dystrophy – PRPH2
55yoPRPH2-related retinal dystrophy, also known as peripherin-2 related dystrophy, can manifest with various retinal degenerative changes. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a valuable tool in assessing these changes. FAF imaging often shows areas of hyperautofluorescence and hypoautofluorescence, indicating regions of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) stress and atrophy, respectively. This helps in […]
-
Chorioretinal colobomatous scar
43yoChorioretinal colobomatous scars caused by presumed toxoplasmosis are characterized by sharply demarcated areas of retinal and choroidal atrophy. These lesions can be identified and monitored using fundus autofluorescence (FAF), which highlights areas of hypoautofluorescence due to RPE loss. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides detailed cross-sectional images, revealing structural disruptions and […]
-
Serpiginous-like choroiditis
60yoSerpiginous-like choroiditis caused by tuberculosis presents as serpentine or geographic lesions in the choroid and retina. Diagnosis and monitoring can be enhanced with multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography (FA), and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). These lesions often show active inflammation with surrounding areas of hypoautofluorescence on FAF […]
-
Sickle cell retinopathy
27yoSickle cell retinopathy is characterized by peripheral retinal ischemia, which can be effectively visualized using fluorescein angiography (FA). FA reveals areas of non-perfusion and neovascularization, helping to identify the extent of ischemia and guide treatment strategies such as laser photocoagulation to prevent further retinal complications. #SickleCellRetinopathy #FluoresceinAngiography #PeripheralIschemia #RetinaImaging #LaserPhotocoagulation […]

Neovascular AMD
71yoIn neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with Type 1 macular neovascularization (MNV), a prechoroidal cleft may be observed. This cleft appears as a hyporeflective space between the neovascular membrane and the choroid on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Identifying this feature is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management, guiding treatment with […]
-
CME and Neovascular AMD
71yoCystoid macular edema (CME) following phacoemulsification in a patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Type 1 neovascular membrane requires careful management. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can be used to monitor the edema and the neovascular membrane. Treatment may include anti-VEGF injections and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and manage […]

Best’s vitelliform dystrophy
28yoBest’s vitelliform dystrophy is an inherited retinal disorder caused by mutations in the BEST1 gene. This condition is characterized by the accumulation of yellowish lipofuscin material in the macula, forming a vitelliform lesion. The progression of the disease can be monitored using fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), […]

Persistence of myelinated nerve fibers
38yoPersistence of myelinated nerve fibers is a condition where myelin, which typically sheaths the optic nerve, extends abnormally into the retinal nerve fiber layer. This can appear as white, opaque patches on fundus examination, often with feathery edges. Myelinated nerve fibers can sometimes obscure underlying retinal structures and are generally […]
-
Ocular toxoplasmosis
35yoOcular toxoplasmosis is characterized by a pathognomonic lesion, typically presenting as a focal, necrotizing retinochoroiditis. This lesion is often accompanied by adjacent old chorioretinal scars and active inflammation. Fundus imaging reveals a white or yellowish focus of retinal necrosis with surrounding inflammation. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) […]

Proliferative sickle cell retinopathy
46yoProliferative sickle cell retinopathy (PSCR) is characterized by several distinct retinal features. Sea-fan neovascularization represents abnormal new blood vessel growth in the peripheral retina. Peripheral ischemia, caused by occluded blood vessels, leads to areas of retinal non-perfusion. Black-sunburst lesions are hyperpigmented areas resulting from previous hemorrhages and pigment migration. These […]
