Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR) (Mosaic of FFA, Perimetry, and OCT) (OD)
Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR) (Mosaic of FFA, Perimetry, and OCT) (OD)
Mosaic display of FFA, perimetry, and OCT showing simultaneously degeneration of the photoreceptor outer segments irregularity, and loss of visual function in the diseased area(arrows). The underlying pathogenic process is a degeneration of the photoreceptor outer segments. The change seen in the retina corresponded to the scotoma. The loss of the IS-OS junction, loss of the outer nuclear layer, and thinning of the inner nuclear layer correlates with the area of visual field loss.
28 years of age, female; since 6 weeks photopsia with unaffected central vision; visual field defect at left eye in the superior temporal quadrant; intermitted headache. VA OD cc 0,9 , OS cc 0,9; IOP RA 14 mmHg, LA 14 mmHg
