Lattice Degeneration Imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
PURPOSE: To describe a series of cases of lattice degeneration of the retina imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: Four eyes of four patients were included and evaluated with green reflectance using a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and OCTA. In each case, the...

description | PURPOSE: To describe a series of cases of lattice degeneration of the retina imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). METHODS: Four eyes of four patients were included and evaluated with green reflectance using a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and OCTA. In each case, the microcirculation of the retina and choriocapillaris within the lesion, as well as choroidal thickness beneath the lesion, were assessed. RESULTS: OCTA showed regional loss of retinal perfusion and rarefication of the choriocapillaris network within the lesion and the presence of venous collectors in the choroid beneath the lesion. The choroid was substantially thinner beneath the lesion compared to the adjacent normal region. Cross-sectional OCT scans showed retinal thinning, vitreal adhesion, atrophic holes, and subretinal fluid within the lesions. CONCLUSION: Lattice degeneration is characterized by significant local changes in retinal and choroidal microcirculation which may play an important role in the pathophysiology of lattice degeneration. |
