Abstract
AbstractTo evaluate the retinal and choroidal changes in White Dot syndromes (WDS) using ‘’en face’’ and B‐scan OCT images. All the study patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including biomicroscopic fundus examination, color photography, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, indocyanin green angiography and B scan and "en face" SD‐OCT. A total of 10 patients with Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), 4 cases diagnosed with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (AMPPE), 1 case of serpiginous choroidopathy, 4 cases of multifocal choroiditis, 3 cases of punctuate inner choroidopathy (PIC) and 3 cases diagnosed with Birdshot disease were analysed and included in the study. The B‐scan findings were correlated with the angiography findings as well as with the ‘’en face’’ OCT scans. In all the cases the ‘’en face’’ OCT, providing a layer‐by‐layer view of the involved retina, enabled depicting in detail the IS/OS envolvement and the extent of the outer retinal damage. The patho‐physiologic mechanism of the WDS remains poorly understood. All these entities probably share a common pathway leading to external retinal involvem
