Peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane (ppCNVM) is an infrequent finding in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). In the pediatric subgroup there is only a single previously reported case. We describe the use of intravitreal bevacizumab for ppCNVM in a teenage boy with IIH.

Purpose: To assess neurodegeneration and chorioretinal thickness in subjects with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase were searched using proper keywords for articles published in the English language from their inception until January 2024. Publications were included if they reported optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurements of retinal or choroidal layers in patients with CKD compared to healthy or non-CKD controls.

Peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) is a recently described condition, classified within the pachychoroid disease spectrum characterized by focal or diffuse thickening of the choroid due to dilation of choroidal vessels in the Haller's layer (pachyvessels), thinning of the choriocapillaris and the Sattler's layer, and accompanied by increased choroidal permeability and damage to the retinal pigment epithelium. Unlike other pachychoroid diseases that involve changes in the central retina, PPS presents with choroidal thickening and intra- or subretinal fluid located nasally in the macular region, near the optic disc. This review aims to summarize and analyze current data on the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options for PPS found in the literature.

Detection of Retinal and Choriocapillaris Microvascular Changes in Retinal Vein Occlusion and Fellow Eyes by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Ophthalmol Ther

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No.1 Shuaifuyuan, Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, Beijing, 100730, China.

Introduction: This study aims to summarize the retinal and choroidal microvascular features detected by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the affected and fellow eyes of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Ovid databases was conducted to identify studies comparing OCTA metrics among RVO, RVO-fellow, and control eyes. Outcomes of interest included parameters related to foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and fovea- and optic nerve head (ONH)-centered perfusion measurements of superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris layer.

Purpose: To explore the relationship between peripapillary atrophy (PPA) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and to uncover potential mechanisms using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) angiography.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 845 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), who underwent detailed systemic and ophthalmic evaluations. A state-of-the-art deep learning method was employed to precisely identify the parapapillary beta and gamma zones.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the differences in retinal and choroidal vasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEX-G) and patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome without glaucoma (PEX-S) and the control group.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 25 patients with PEX-G, 27 PEX-S cases, and 25 patients as the control group (C) were evaluated. All patients and the control group underwent macular and optic nerve head (ONH) OCTA, performed using the Optovue device.
