Introduction
The FIPED begins to grow, with neovascularisation denoted by hyper-reflective material in the FIPED.
- OCT-A is a strong tool, confirming presence of tangled web vessels in the avascular retina.
Dead Giveaways
The biggest giveaway is in angiography and in the OCT:
OCT:
Note thick pachyvessels, and hyper-reflective material in FIPED The neurosensory retina is separated from the RPE by subretinal fluid, and the RPE is separated by the hyper-reflective material --> suspicion of CNV, as the vessels arise form the pachyvessels.
Angiography:
By viewing the avascular region of the retina, the presence of tangled vessels indicate CNV
Usually en-face is most useful
In FAZ
diagnostic features
Can be exudative or non-exudative
If exudative, required referrals and monitoring
If non-exudative, monitoring is needed
