Longitudinal study of serpiginous choroiditis and serpiginous like choroiditis using wide field OCT angiography

PURPOSE: To assess the ability of wide field Swept Source OCTA (SS-OCTA) imaging to detect morphological variations in Serpiginous Choroiditis (SC) and Serpiginous Like Choroiditis (SLC) in response to treatment and also analyze these findings quantitatively using Image J software.

METHODS: Retrospective observational case series of nine eyes with clinical diagnosis of active SC and SLC, who underwent SS-OCTA and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging at baseline and each follow up visit till 6 months. Morphological analysis was done by two independent graders and quantitative analysis to measure the size and intensity of lesion was done using publicly available Image J software at baseline and each follow up visit.

DESIGN: Retrospective observational case series.

RESULTS: Using SS-OCTA, all the active lesions followed a characteristic healing pattern. Active lesions appear well defined hypo flow void patches and as healing progressed, lesion became more ill-defined and iso-hyper- intense. Significant increase in mean intensity of the lesion could be apparent after 1 and 6 month of treatment. There was reduction in the size of lesions during follow up however this difference was not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION: SS-OCTA could be a useful noninvasive tool to study the treatment response in SC/SLC both morphologically as well as quantitatively. Quantitative parameters need to be designed in further research studies to aid in uniform management and follow up of uveitis cases.
