ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) with traditional multimodal imaging in patients with Malattia Leventinese.DESIGN:
Retrospective case series.METHODS:
Eight eyes of 4 consecutive patients with Malattia Leventinese were retrospectively studied. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including color fundus photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography.RESULTS:
The choriocapillaris segmentation of OCT-A revealed the presence of a hyperflow signal corresponding to active choroidal neovascularization in 3 eyes and inactive choroidal neovascularization in 1 eye. Traditional multimodal imaging did not show each vascular layer and any leakage in these cases.CONCLUSION:
OCT-A, unlike traditional multimodal imaging, helps diagnose choroidal neovascularization in patients with Malattia Leventinese suffering from metamorphopsia and reduced visual acuity.
