Multimodal image characterization of paravenous atrophy

Objective: The objective is to describe a clinical case of paravenous atrophy using a multimodal image. Methods: A 48-year-old man was visited and followed in the ophthalmology department of Hospital Clinic (Barcelona). Visual acuity, slit-lamp exam, retinography, autofluorescence, visual field, opt...

description Objective: The objective is to describe a clinical case of paravenous atrophy using a multimodal image. Methods: A 48-year-old man was visited and followed in the ophthalmology department of Hospital Clinic (Barcelona). Visual acuity, slit-lamp exam, retinography, autofluorescence, visual field, optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiology test were performed. Results: The patient had a history of Behcet’s disease. Autofluorescence revealed hypoautofluorescence at the paravenous region, th visual field was also altered and electrophysiologic test were reduced. Conclusion: Paravenous atrophy is a rare entity not well described currently. Patients are frequently misdiagnosed. Multimodal image could help to characterize this condition properly and improve the management.
