Novel Insight into Morphological Features and Vascular Profile of Selected Macular Dystrophies Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Abstract: Our perception of macular dystrophies has evolved overtime from collective grouping into hereditary disorders of unclear etiology and no effective treatment to avid search for the underlying pathogenic mechanism that would provide base for future therapy. A causal conjunction between abnormalities in the photoreceptors layer and the RPE-Bruch's membrane complex and abnormal profile of the retinal vascular plexuses and the choriocapillaris-stands out as a plausible theory of pathogenesis. The recently introduce… Show more

“… 5 Consequently, SS-OCTA unveils a previously uncharted vascular pathological profile of BVMD that includes vascular alteration of the SCP and DCP layers, and reveals causal relationships between an abnormal vascular profile and pathological changes in retinal microstructure. 1–4 , 6 Moreover, SS-OCTA depicts with pinpoint accuracy the development of secondary choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV), particularly in cases where FFA and structural OCT have revealed equivocal findings. 7–9 …”
