OCT Angiography in Noninfectious Uveitis: A Description of Five Cases and Clinical Applications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive imaging modality used to analyze the retinochoroidal vasculature and detect vascular flow. The resulting images can be segmented to view each vascular plexus individually. While fluorescein angiography is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of posterior uveitis, it has limitations, and can be replaced by OCTA in some cases.

Methods

This case series describes five patients with posterior noninfectious uveitis and their description by OCTA.

Results

Cases included lupus retinopathy (n = 1) for which OCTA showed ischemic maculopathy as areas of flow deficit at the superficial and deep capillary plexus; choroidal granulomas (n = 1) with a non-detectable flow signal in the choroi
