Purpose: To report a case of torpedo maculopathy (TM) in an elderly patient complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and that was treated by intravitreal aflibercept injections and monitored during 30 months using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography.
Methods: A 74-year-old woman complained of a metamorphopsia in the left eye. Visual acuity was 20/25 while fundus examination showed a hypopigmented torpedo-shaped chorioretinal lesion in the temporal macula associated with a retinal exudation.
Background: To evaluate the contribution of large-cube 30° × 25° optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the characterization of diabetic macular edema (DME) by assessing its extent and the presence of additional retinal edemas and to evaluate the factors that influenced their occurrence.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with diabetes who presented with retinal edema detected by horizontal large-cube 30° × 25° (8.7 × 7.
A 74-year-old man presented with bilateral optic nerve atrophy related to arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) which started 22 years ago. Atrophic papilla was noted in both eyes and optical coherence tomography showed thinning of the retinal nerve fibres layer as well as the macular ganglion cell complex. Optical coherence tomography angiography of the macula found a decreased density of the superficial capillary complex, whereas deep capillary complex was well-preserved.
