Structural changes in vortex vein ampullae in eyes with pachychoroid-spectrum disorder.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of vortex vein ampullae in pachychoroid-spectrum disorders. This case-control study evaluated vortex vein ampullae using Optos Silverstone, an imaging device combining ultra-widefield scanning laser fundus imaging with swept-source optical coherence tomography. Consecutive patients with pachychoroid-spectrum disorders and controls who visited Kagoshima university hospital between January 2022 and December 2023 and underwent vortex vein ampullae evaluations. We compared morphological parameters of supratemporal and infratemporal vortex vein ampullae between eyes with pachychoroid-spectrum disorders and control subjects. We included 40 patients (46 eyes) with pachychoroid-spectrum disorders, and 14 healthy controls (15 eyes). We ob
