Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: To identify the unique pathologic findings of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: Retrospectively, 29 eyes of 25 patients with age-related macular degeneration and complicated RAP
were analyzed. All 29 eyes had choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the area of pigment epithelial detachment
(PED) or adjacent to it, which was visible with fluorescein angiography or indocyanine green angiography. Cross-sectional images were obtained by OCT scanning through the CNV lesions.
Results: Six distinctive findings of OCT included drusen (100%), inner retinal cyst (80%), outer retinal cyst (68%),
fibrovascular PED (84%), serous retinal detachment (40%), and PED (68%).
Conclusions: Through analysis of OCT findings, we revealed six different types of lesions distinctive of RAP which may provide helpful diagnostic information for subsequent treatment and predicting the prognosis of RAP.
