Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Retinal Cavernous Hemangioma
No full textRetinal cavernous hemangioma is a rare, benign, retinal tumor characterized by angiomatous proliferation of vessels within the inner retina or the optic disc.1 Here we report a case of retinal cavernous hemangioma on the margin of the optic disc in the right eye of a 61-year-old asymptomatic female. The lesion was studied with multimodal imaging which included structural optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, blue fundus auto-fluorescence, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) (DRI OCT Triton; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) and visual field examination. Blood circulation inside retinal cavernous hemangioma lesion is typically low-stagnant.2 However, OCTA demonstrated blood flow inside the lesion, illustrating its vascular circulation.3 Visual field was within the normal limits, except from a slight enlargement of the blind spot.

The Use of OCT and OCT Angiography in Detecting an Atypical Case of Retinal Capillary Hemangioma
No full textRetinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) is a benign retinal tumor defined by a vascular proliferation localized in the peripheral retina, juxtapapillary retina, or the intraneural portion of the optic nerve. In most cases, diagnosis of RCH is performed by fundus evaluation and confirmed by fluorescein fundus angiography. Nevertheless, a small RCH localized on or adjacent to the optic nerve head could be difficult to detect by fundus examination. Here, the authors report an atypical case of RCH, not ophthalmoscopically visible, but successfully detected first by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and then by OCT angiography, which confirmed its vascular nature.

Vessel Density and Vessel Tortuosity Quantitative Analysis of Arteritic and Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathies: An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study
No full textThe aim of this study was to perform quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) assessment of arteritic and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathies (AION; NAION). The study was designed as an observational, cross-sectional case series. All patients underwent complete ophthalmologic evaluation including LogMAR best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCTA images, and dye-based angiography. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was obtained from structural OCT, and vessel density (VD) and vessel tortuosity (VT) were measured for each optic nerve head vascular plexus. After selecting the quadrants showing visual field defects, measured by Humphrey 30.2 perimetry (Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA), we assessed the correlation between the localization of visual field defects and the quadrants showing impairments of RNFL, VD, and VT. Thirty naïve AION patients (15 arteritic AION (AAION) and 15 non-arteritic AION (NAION)) were included. LogMAR BCVA was 0.6 ± 0.2 for AAION and 0.3 ± 0.3 for NAION (p < 0.01). AAION and NAION eyes showed significant differences in terms of visual field involvement as well as VD and VT values, with remarkably worse alterations affecting AAION eyes. VD values perfectly matched with the quadrants showing RNFL and visual field defects. On the contrary, VT resulted remarkably decreased in all the quadrants, with even worse values in the quadrants showing RNFL and visual field alterations. The present study showed that AAION eyes are more injured than NAION ones. VD represents a good parameter for the detection of the main site on vascular impairment. Remarkably, VT resulted in a more sensitive parameter for the quantitative detection of blood flow impairment in AION disease
