OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHIC FINDINGS IN BIETTI’S CRYSTALLINE TAPETORETINAL DYSTROPHY

2014

Purpose: To report the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of Bietti crystalline tapetoretinal dystrophy. Design: Observational case report. Methods: A subject with Bietti crystalline tapetoretinal dystrophy was evaluated with ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and OCT (Stratus). Results: OCT showed thinning and hyporeflectivity of the outer nuclear layer in the macula due to photoreceptor degeneration. The retinal areas showing atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium displayed greater penetration of the optical beam into the choroid and visualization of residual choroidal vessels. The hyperreflective band normally seen under the neurosensory retina was extremely wide when a…

Peripapillary Staphyloma and Asymmetric Morning Glory Anomaly

2006

We report a patient with concomitant occurrence of peripapillary staphyloma and morning glory anomaly. The morning glory anomaly presented with an optic nerve head with oblique entrance, located on one side of the peripapillary staphyloma, giving an unusually asymmetric and previously undescribed appearance to the abnormality. The optical coherence tomography provided useful information about the shape and deepness of the peripapillary staphyloma and disclosed a retinal detachment not appreciated ophthalmoscopically.

Optical coherence tomography of chorioretinal and choroidal folds

2007

. Purpose:  To report the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in cases of chorioretinal and choroidal folds. Methods:  Eight subjects with folds of the fundus of the eye were examined with fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, B-scan ultrasonography and Stratus OCT. Results:  Two types patterns were found on OCT. Five cases showed undulating retinal as well as retinal pigment epithelial lines of normal thickness; these were defined as chorioretinal folds. The posterior vitreous surface often adhered to the crests of the folds only. Three cases exhibited a wavy appearance of the retinal pigment epithelium and a flat retinal surface; these were classified as choroidal folds. Co…
