Abstract
To investigate fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging findings for patients with choroidal rupture. FAF images were recorded with a new-generation confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope. Three patients with choroid ruptures, one acute and two chronic, were included in the study. Choroidal ruptures typically appeared as hypoautofluorescent crescent-shaped lesions on FAF images. In the case of acute choroid rupture, the whole extent of the rupture was clearly seen, and visibility of the lesion was found to be better by FAF imaging than by ophthalmoscopy and fundus fluorescein angiography. Choroidal rupture has a typical appearance by FAF imaging. FAF imaging may be a useful noninvasive tool in the recognition of these lesions early in their course.
