Background And Objective: To evaluate the impact of drusen burden on the detection of subclinical choroidal neovascularization (CNV) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Patients And Methods: A subanalysis of the AVATAR study, subjects diagnosed with nonexudative AMD without subfoveal atrophy were included. Subclinical CNV was assessed using OCTA software, and drusen burden was graded utilizing the advanced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) analysis.
Objective: To evaluate the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to detect choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in eyes with indeterminate CNV features on conventional imaging.
Design: The AVATAR study is a prospective observational study of OCTA in patients undergoing routine spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for macular disease.
Participants: Subjects enrolled in the AVATAR study for which CNV was considered as part of a differential diagnosis based on clinical exam and/or prior imaging, but in whom the presence of CNV was not definitive on SD-OCT and fluorescein angiography (FA) imaging.
Purpose: To report a case of occult globe perforation following craniofacial surgery.
Methods: A 16-year-old girl presented with vision loss and hypotony of her left eye following a craniofacial procedure, including bilateral medial canthopexy. This report describes the evaluation and findings following the craniofacial surgery.
