PurposeTo study the usefulness of multicolor imaging (MC) photographs in addition to near infrared reflectance (NIR) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in the detection and follow up of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN).Patients and methodsSix patients with a complaint of paracentral scotomas in at least one eye due to AMN were included. They underwent full ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging including color fundus photographs, (SD-OCT), NIR, and MC at baseline and follow up.ResultsFour females and two males, aged 19-64 years, and eight eyes affected by AMN, were included. Acute phase SD-OCT in all patients confirmed the diagnosis of type 2 AMN with partial recovery of the outer retina in the convalescent phase. NIR and MC elicited in all cases hypo-reflective AMN lesions pointing toward the fovea. MC exhibited a higher contrast between the affected and the physiologic retina that slowly attenuated during the follow up showing a decrease in the hypo-reflectance of the lesions.ConclusionMC imaging was more detailed than fundus color photographs and as detailed as NIR in the detection of AMN. When available, MC imaging should complement SD-OCT and NIR in the diagnosis and follow up of this rare inflammatory condition that may be underdiagnosed.
目的
研究除近红外反射(NIR)和光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD - OCT)外,多色成像(MC)照片在急性黄斑神经视网膜病变(AMN)检测和随访中的作用。
患者与方法
纳入6例因AMN至少一只眼出现旁中心暗点的患者。他们在基线期和随访期接受了全面的眼科检查和多模态成像,包括彩色眼底照片、(SD - OCT)、NIR和MC。
结果
纳入4名女性和2名男性,年龄19 - 64岁,8只眼受AMN影响。所有患者急性期的SD - OCT均确诊为2型AMN,恢复期外层视网膜部分恢复。NIR和MC在所有病例中均显示指向黄斑中心凹的低反射性AMN病变。MC显示病变视网膜与正常视网膜之间的对比度更高,随访期间该对比度缓慢减弱,病变的低反射性降低。
结论
在检测AMN方面,MC成像比彩色眼底照片更详细,与NIR一样详细。如有条件,MC成像应在这种可能诊断不足的罕见炎症性疾病的诊断和随访中补充SD - OCT和NIR。
