Abstract
To evaluate the flow characteristics and textural properties of choriocapillaris (CC) on optical coherence tomography angiography in eyes with resolved inflammatory choriocapillaropathies and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease. A cohort of eyes with healed acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE), serpiginous choroiditis (SC), and VKH disease were included. A 3 mm × 3 mm OCT angiogram of CC was acquired and graded for flow characteristics and textural properties. This study included 16 patients. Texture was heterogeneous in all eyes in the SC and VKH groups, and in four eyes (40%) in the APMPPE group. Most of the eyes with VKH disease had severe low flow, whereas most of the SC and APMPPE eyes demonstrated mild low flow. Heal duration had a strong negative correlation with severity of CC low flow and a weak, statistically nonsignificant correlation with texture heterogeneity. Despite the resolution of active inflammation, partial CC hypoperfusion and texture disruptions persist for longer durations and may resolve in a time dependent manner.
