An update of multimodal imaging in white dot syndrome.

The white dot syndromes are a group of phenotypically similar disorders characterized by multiple lesions at the level of the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. Common white dot syndromes whose imaging modalities have been described in this article are multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis, punctate inner choroidopathy, serpiginous choroiditis, and birdshot chorioretinopathy. The various imaging modalities help us to better understand the pathophysiology of the various entities and help in diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosticating them.

Article Synopsis
- Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) is crucial for diagnosing and tracking choroidal inflammation, particularly choroidal vasculitis, which is often missed by doctors not using this method during posterior uveitis assessments.
- The study analyzes ICGA signs of choroidal vasculitis, highlighting two main patterns: choriocapillaritis, which shows hypofluorescent areas indicating inflammation, and stromal choroidal vasculitis, characterized by leaking hyperfluorescent vessels.
- Overall, choroidal vasculitis is commonly found in patients with inflammatory choroid issues, and understanding its ICGA features can improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Textilomas, or gossypibomas, are rare but serious complications from forgotten surgical sponges that can cause inflammatory reactions, abscesses, and are often mistaken for tumors like sarcomatoid carcinoma.
- In a case study involving a 58-year-old woman with back pain and a retroperitoneal mass, imaging misidentified the mass as a tumor, but surgery revealed it was actually a textiloma.
- Accurate diagnosis relies on medical history and imaging techniques, such as CT and MRI, and despite the reduced incidence due to radio-opaque sponges, careful counting remains necessary to prevent these complications.

A 78-year-old male hospitalized due to acute pneumonia presented with hematemesis, melena and hypotension. Past medical history was relevant for prostate cancer with bone and lung metastasis under systemic chemotherapy. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a 50mm serpiginous ulcer in the second portion of the duodenum with a visible vessel (Forrest IIa).

The aim of this study was to investigate acute wound healing with dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT). From 22 patients with 23 split skin graft donor sites, vessels at four wound edges, the wound bed, and adjacent and unaffected skin of the contralateral leg were measured by D-OCT at six time points from surgery to 4 weeks of healing. Changes in vessel orientation, density, diameter, morphology and pattern in horizontal, vertical and 3D images were analysed for wound healing and re-epithelialization.
