Multimodal imaging characteristics of quiescent type 1 neovascularization in an eye with angioid streaks

摘要

Purpose To present the multimodal imaging characteristics including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as well as indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) of quiescent type 1 neovascularization (NV) in an asymptomatic eye with angioid streaks (AS). Observations A 67-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for routine eye examination. The presence of a quiescent type 1 NV was detected on both ICGA and OCTA in juxtafoveal localization under the retinal pigment epitheliumin the right eye. At the end of the one year of follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and the type 1 NV was still quiescent. Conclusions and Importance In comparison to ICGA, OCTA seems to be an easily repeatable non-invasive imaging tool which enables us early detection and monitoring of type 1 NV lesions even in asymptomatic patients with AS.
