Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Demonstration of Choroidal Neovascularization in Malattia Leventinese

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2016 Jun 1;47(6):602-4. doi: 10.3928/23258160-20160601-17.

Abstract

In a case of Malattia Leventinese, optical coherence tomography angiography led to the diagnosis of type 1 neovascularization, despite absence of evidence on conventional dye-based angiography. The authors hypothesize that, at least in some cases, accumulation of subretinal fluid in Malattia Leventinese could be due to a subretinal pigment epithelium (RPE) neovascular component rather than creation of hydrophobic barrier at the RPE and Bruch's membrane.
