Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose: To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features of typical cystoid degeneration. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 11 eyes with typical cystoid degeneration (TCD). All patients had a complete ocular examination, ultra-widefield (UWF) pseudocolor fundus photography and SD-OCT with a 55° wide-field lens. We analyzed the cross-sectional structural information of SD-OCT imaging with TCD. Results: On SD-OCT, the TCD regions exhibited rolling hills patterns with irregularly elevated retinal surface, and multiple intraretinal hyporeflective cavities separated by irregular septums were seen in the neurosensory retina. Destructive changes were seen in the ellipsoid zone and the pigment epithelium. Consolidated vitreous with moderate to high reflectivity was seen over the lesion and there might be vitreoretinal adhesions and tractions. Results: SD-OCT shows exquisite structural features of the anatomy in vivo detail of the TCD. This imaging technique may deepen our structural understanding of TCD and may influence decision-making in clinical practice.
