Abstract
To describe a unique indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) feature in sarcoidosis-associated choroidal vasculitis in a 33-year-old woman. Case report. A 33-year-old woman with sarcoidosis was referred for the evaluation of blurry vision in both eyes. On ocular examination of both eyes, slit-lamp biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy revealed 0.5+ anterior chamber cell, 1+ vitreous cell, and no vitreous haze. Also noted were areas of venous perivascular sheathing and multiple (3-5) inferior snowballs. Fluorescein angiography showed optic disk hyperfluorescence, retinal phlebitis, and hyperfluorescence with late leakage in the periphery (Figure 1). Indocyanine green angiography showed small hypofluorescent spots. Also noted on the ICGA images were multiple, sharp, linear hyperfluorescent areas signifying areas of choroidal vasculitis (Figure 2). The patient was referred to rheumatology for the initiation of immunomodulatory therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this ICGA pattern of multiple, sharp, linear hyperfluorescent areas has not been previously described in patients with sarcoidosis. This ICGA pattern represents areas of sarcoidosis associated choroidal vasculitis.
