Abstract

To report fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging findings of a patient with pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy (PPCRA). In a patient with incidentaly detected bilateral PPCRA, FAF images were recorded with a new-generation confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (Heidelberg Retina Angiograph 2, Heidelberg, Germany). Atrophic areas typically appeared as hypoautofluorescent on FAF imaging, and borders of the chorioretinal atrophy areas appeared hyperautofluorescent, where RPE metabolism was presumably disturbed but chorioretinal atrophy has not yet appeared. It was remarkable that in some paravenous areas, hyperautofluorescence was seen where there were no evident abnormal findings in fundoscopy. PPCRA has a typical appearance by FAF imaging. FAF imaging may be a useful noninvasive tool in the recognition of the activity and predicting the progression of the disease.

Özet

Tesadüfen saptanan bilateral pigmente paravenöz koryoretinal atrofi (PPKA) olan bir hastada, bir yeni-jenerasyon konfokal tarayıcı laser oftalmoskop (Heidelberg Retina Angiograph 2, Heidelberg, Germany) ile fundus otofloresans (FOF) görüntüleri kaydedildi. Atrofik alanlar FOF görüntülerinde tipik olarak hipo-otofloresan görünürken; RPE metabolizmasının olasılıkla bozulduğu ancak atrofinin henüz belirmediği koryoretinal atrofi alan sınırları hiperotofloresan göründü. Fundoskopide aşikar anormal bulgu olmayan bazı paravenöz alanlarda da hiper-otofloresans görülmesi kayda değerdi. PPKA’nın tipik görünümü nedeniyle, hastalığın aktivitesinin saptanması ve progresyonunun takibinde FOF görüntülemenin faydalı invazif-olmayan bir araç olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
