Purpose To evaluate the various patterns of subretinal fluid (SRF) in eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) absence neovascularisation (MNV) and to assess long-term outcomes these eyes. Methods This retrospective study included only non-neovascular AMD associated SRF. Eyes evidence MNV were excluded. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was obtained at baseline follow-up, qualitative quantitative SD-OCT analysis drusen including drusenoid pigment epithelial...
Pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) is associated with superior visual acuity and reduced vertical metamorphopsia compared pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). It important to determine postoperative photoreceptor integrity both surgical techniques.To compare on spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) between PnR PPV at 12 months postoperatively.Post hoc analysis of the Retinopexy Versus Vitrectomy Management Primary Rhegmatogenous Retinal...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the progression characteristics of ellipsoid zone ( EZ ) loss in eyes with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) as reflected by area and linear measurements, their relevance for visual acuity. Methods Participants were selected from MacTel Study cohort. Linear measurements performed Spectral‐Domain Optical Coherence Tomograph (SD‐OCT) volume scans. Progression correlations between analysed using mixed effects models. Results A total 134 70 patients included...
Purpose: To analyze the evolution of type 1 neovascularization associated with vascularized serous pigment epithelial detachment (vsPED) using three-dimensional, volumetric, en face optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: This was a retrospective case series from four tertiary medical centers. OCTA images were analyzed at baseline and 3-, 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-month follow-up visit when available. Visual acuity, number injections, PED maximal height area volume, choroidal (CNV)...
Background Macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) is a neurodegenerative disease resulting in photoreceptor loss. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) reveals outer retina-associated hyperreflectivity (ORaH) as part of this process. The purpose study was to describe the incidence and phenotypical variation ORaH. Methods Different parameters ORaH were analysed: OCT characteristics (Spectralis SD-OCT), correlation with vascular changes (OCT angiography; OCTA 3×3 mm Optovue) hyperpigmentation...
Purpose: To evaluate the depth and pattern of retinal hemorrhage in acute central vein occlusion (CRVO) to correlate these with visual anatomic outcomes. Methods: Retinal hemorrhages were evaluated color fundus photography fluorescein angiography at baseline follow-up. Snellen acuity (VA), foveal thickness (CFT), extent ischemia, development neovascularization analyzed. Results: 108 eyes from patients evaluated. Mean age was 63.6 ± 16.1 years a predilection for right eye (73.1%). Average...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, Veränderungen von Typ-2-CNV (klassische CNV) in OCT-Angiografie (OCT-A) unter Anti-VEGF-Therapie aufzuzeigen und die Abgrenzbarkeit Läsion vom umgebenden Gewebe unterschiedlichen Segmentierungen zu untersuchen. Methode Bei 12 Patienten wurde Fluoreszenzangiografie (FAG) im SD-OCT eine gut abgrenzbare mit assoziierten exsudativen diagnostiziert. allen zudem OCT-A (Avanti, Optovue) vorgenommen. Diese Befunde wurden initial, nach...
Anti-VEGF therapy is the standard treatment for exudative neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) caused by development of neovascularisation (MNV) with associated fluid exudation. The therapeutic strategies (T&E or PRN) assumed a scarring transformation MNV and exit were formulated accordingly. present study investigates this hypothesis as real-life long-term analysis.
Background Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears are a typical complication of vascular detachment in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). During proactive intense anti-VEGF therapy, stabilisation or improvement function may occur. With the new method OCT angiography (OCT-A), retinal vessels and flow density can be quantified. This pilot study investigates changes choriocapillars (CC) areas with increasing FAF following an RPE-tear. Methods In six eyes RPE-tear, prospectively initially...
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Ziel der vorliegenden erweiterten Fallbeschreibung ist die Darstellung choroidaler Neovaskularisationen (CNV) bei vaskularisierten Pigmentepithelabhebungen (PE-Abhebung) initial und unter Anti-VEGF-Therapie mittels OCT-Angiografie (OCT-A) im Vergleich zur konventionellen Diagnostik. CNV-Größe Flow-Areal wurden in OCT-A quantifiziert diese Befunde mit anderen SD-OCT-Charakteristika Läsion verglichen. Patienten Methode Bei 8 vaskularisierter PE-Abhebung wurde...
