Circular Perivascular Autofluorescence Pattern in Patients With Autoimmune Retinopathy.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To report the characteristics and prevalence of a previously undescribed circular perivascular fundus autofluorescence (FAF) pattern in paraneoplastic and nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy. Methods: This retrospective case series used clinical and imaging data extracted from charts of patients with autoimmune retinopathy in whom FAF imaging was performed from the initial presentation to the last visit. Results: Six of 25 patients with autoimmune retinopathy and FAF imaging developed circular perivascular FAF changes. Three patients had paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy, and 3 had nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy. The lesions appeared a mean of 25 months after symptom onset; however, the timing varied from months to years and did not correlat
