Swept-Source OCTA Imaging of a Presumed Solitary Circumscribed Retinal Astrocytic Proliferation.

Presumed solitary circumscribed retinal astrocytic proliferation (pSCRAP) is a rare, benign retinal tumor, typically presenting as a yellow-white, well-defined lesion. It was first qualified as astrocytic, but thanks to the development of optical coherence tomography (OCT), the lesion was identified as a deep glial lesion, as the nerve fiber layer appeared to be spared. Herein, the authors report the case of a 90-year-old man with inferopapillary pSCRAP who benefited from swept-source OCT angiography images.

Optical coherence tomography angiography findings of choroidal neovascularization secondary to laser injury: A case report.

PURPOSE: To report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to laser injury imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and treated by intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). OBSERVATIONS: A 14-year-old boy presented with vision loss and central scotoma in the right eye (RE) in the last month, after having stared at the beam of a laser pointer. At presentation, his best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the RE was 20/40 and spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) showed an interruption of ellipsoid zone and the presence of an hyperrelfective lesion in subfoveal region. OCTA examination revealed the presence of a high-flow lesion on both outer retina to choriocapillaris (ORCC) and choriocapillaris segmentations. The patient was treated by one anti-VEGF injection: at one month follow-up his BCVA in the RE was 15/20. SD-OCT revealed the complete resolution of hyperreflective lesion and no detectable flow on OCTA. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Retinal laser injury may be complicated by CNV. OCTA may non-invasively assess the presence of CNV, as well as treatment-response.
