Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Characteristics of Fovea in Residual Subfoveal Perfluorocarbon Liquid Eye.

The authors report a case of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) features of retina and choriocapillaris before and after the surgical removal of a subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubble. Before the surgery, the fovea avascular zone (FAZ) of both superficial and deep inner retinal layers (SRL/DRL) dramatically enlarged. However, after the removal, the FAZ continually decreased in both layers, even becoming close to normal in size. The abnormal choriocapillaris dark areas were also undetectable. Before and after surgery, the angle of the maximum FAZ diameter constantly remained horizontal and within normal limit in the SRL, forming an oval-shaped FAZ.
