- Abstract:
- PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of ocular coherence tomography (OCT) concerning diagnosis and pathogenesis of acute macular neuroretinopathy. METHODS: A 33-year old woman complained of sudden onset of central scotomas in her right eye because of acute macular neuroretinopathy. We performed a direct ophthalmoscopy, a visual field testing, a fluorescein angiography (FA) a multifocal ERG (mf-ERG) and an OCT. RESULTS: We found typical paracentral scotoma in visual field testing, a normal FA and mf-ERG in her right eye. In OCT there was a band of higher reflectivity (115 microm) overlying an intact band corresponding to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/ choriocapillaris complex. Retinal thickness was within the normal range. CONCLUSION: OCT can be an additional valuable tool in acute macular neuroretinopathy as it is a disease with discrete pathology and often normal results in other diagnostic tests.
