The flow density (whole en face) in the superficial/deep retinal OCT angiograms and in the optical coherence tomography angiography of the optic nerve head was significantly lower in the retinitis pigmentosa group when compared with the control group (P < 0.001).
In this retrospective cohort study of 28 patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), we used OCT-A to quantify changes in perfusion density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and choriocapillaris blood flow over time and correlated these variables with ellipsoid zone (EZ) line width and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
To assess the prevalences of segmentation errors and motion artifacts in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in different retinal diseases METHODS: In a retrospective analysis, multimodal retinal imaging including OCT-A was performed in one eye of 57 healthy controls (50.96 ± 22.4 years) and 149 patients (66.42 ± 14.1 years) affected by different chorioretinal diseases: early/intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD; n = 26), neovascular AMD (nAMD; n = 22), geographic atrophy due to AMD (GA; n = 6), glaucoma (n = 28), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC; n = 14), epiretinal membrane (EM; n = 26), retinal vein occlusion (RVO; n = 11), and retinitis pigmentosa (RP; n = 16).
The flow density (whole en face) in the superficial/deep retinal OCT angiograms and in the optical coherence tomography angiography of the optic nerve head was significantly lower in the retinitis pigmentosa group when compared with the control group (P < 0.001).
A total of 49 patients (98 eyes) with RP were divided into 4 groups according to the OCT findings: group A, patients with no macular changes; group B, patients with cystoid macular edema (CME); group C, patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT); group D, patients with retinal thinning.
