Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (Colour Photography Posterior Pole)

Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (Colour Photography Posterior Pole)
Colour Photography Posterior Pole: retinal hemorrhages, papillary neovascularization (NVD). Patient: 29 years of age, female, Visual Acuity 20/40. General Medical History: type I diabetes, glycated hemoglobin 9.1%. Ocular Medical History: decreased vision in OD. Purpose: to present regional coincidence between areas with retinal ischemia and retinal thinning using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography . Methods: Colour Photography Posterior Pole, Fluorescein Angiography (HRA), OCT-angiogram (ZeissAngioPlex), OCT-thickness (ZeissAngioPlex). Findings: Colour Photography Posterior Pole: retinal hemorrhages, papillary neovascularization (NVD). Fluorescein Angiography (midphase): enlarged foveolar avascular zone, capillary loss in temporal, superior and inferior area, IRMAS, microaneuryms, retinal neovascularization (NVE) in temporal inferior region. OCT-Angio Map: capillary loss, enlarged foveolar avascular zone, IRMAS, mircoaneurysms. OCT-Thickness Map: thinned retina (blue) corresponding to retinal areas with capillary loss in OCT-Angio Map. Discussion: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows the evaluation of functional retinal vascular networks without a need for contrast dyes. Zhang Q et al. (1) reported that OCTA is capable of providing wide-field and high definition images of retinal vasculature in a single image. They showed that OCTA with motion tracking through an auxiliary real-time line scan ophthalmoscope images functional retinal vasculature with a coverage of more than 60 degrees of retina.
