OCTA vs dye angiography for the diagnosis and evaluation of neovascularisation in punctate inner choroidopathy

British Journal of Ophthalmology Jan 06, 2021

Gan Y, Zhang X, Su Y, et al. - In this investigation involving 123 patients (160 affected eyes), researchers sought to compare the sensitivity and specificity of identifying and assessing the choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) vs dye angiography. From June 2016 to December 2019, consecutive patients diagnosed with PIC were recruited in this study. Data reported that the sensitivity and specificity for CNV detection with OCTA alone, respectively, were 89.47% and 98.46%. The authors investigated the usefulness of OCTA in the diagnosis and evaluation of patients with CNV secondary to PIC in this study. OCTA show convincing diagnosis accuracy compared with dye angiography. While OCTA has many limitations and is not adequate in clinical practice to replace dye angiography, it can provide clinicians with a non-invasive way to track patients with CNV secondary to PIC and guide treatment decisions.
