Value of OCT-angiography in white dot syndromes and other inflammatory chorioretinopathies
Purpose
Assess the value of OCT-A in the physiopathological comprehension of inflammatory chorioretinopathies
Methods
Eighteen eyes with the following diagnoses – multifocal choroiditis, syphilitic placoid chorioretinitis, APMPPE, MEWDS, etc... were studied.
Results
Flow void of the choriocapillaris was found in patients with APMPEE, serpiginous choroiditis, MFC, in tuberculous serpiginous-like choroiditis and in syphilitic chorioretinitis on OCT-A. In contrast, perfusion of the choriocapillaris seemed normal in patients with MEWDS and syphilitic placoid chorioretinitis.
Conclusion
OCT-A contributes new information on the physiopathology of inflammatory chorioretinopathies, notably on whether or not the choriocapillaris is involved.
