OUTER RETINAL MICROCAVITATIONS IN RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA : A Novel Optical Coherence Tomography Finding Common in RP1 -Related Retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding of outer retina microcavitations in RP1 -related retinopathy and other retinal degenerations.

Methods

Medical charts and OCT images of 28 patients with either autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa or autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa RP1 -related retinopathy were reviewed. Outer retina microcavitations were defined as hyporeflective OCT structures of at least 30 µ m in diameter between the ellipsoid zone and retinal pigment epithelium. Comparison was made based on the following metrics: (1) functional measures including best-corrected visual acuity and color discrimination errors on D-15 test; and (2) structural measures, including central subfield, average macular thickness, and preserved transf
