Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of serpiginous choroiditis imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: Multimodal imaging and OCT-A were performed to investigate serpiginous choroiditis in a 65-year-old patient. Comparison between OCT-A images and intermediate and late phase indocyanine green angiography revealed that the hypofluorescent areas on indocyanine green angiography corresponded topographically to the dark areas seen in the choriocapillaris layer of OCT-A. CONCLUSION: The OCT-A was shown to be able to detect vascular nonperfusion at the level of the choriocapillaris and could be helpful, especially for follow-up purposes, in clinical practice for choriocapillaritis such as serpiginous choroiditis.
