Usefulness of Color Laser Scanning Ophthalmoscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in the Diagnosis of Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy Complex: A Report of Two Cases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The term "acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) complex" encompasses a group of conditions associated with photoreceptor damage, and most patients with AZOOR complex experience irreversible visual-field defects and retinal pigment epithelium atrophy with no effective treatment. Herein, we report two cases of AZOOR complex in which multimodal imaging, including color scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA), facilitated diagnosis and monitoring.

Case presentation

Case 1 involved a 23-year-old woman who presented with visual-field disturbances in the left eye. The OCT B-scan revealed ellipsoid zone (EZ) irregularities, and color SLO and en face OCTA of the EZ slab showed corresponding hyporeflecti
