Modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) have improved the diagnostic utility of fundus imaging in management of uveitis. The purpose of this study is to review role of OCT and OCTA in differential diagnosis of certain posterior uveitic entities.
Narrative review.
In this review, we have comprehensively summarized the utility of OCT and OCTA in helping the clinician diagnose common but challenging inflammatory conditions including ocular toxoplasmosis, viral retinitis, and vitreoretinal lymphoma, among others. OCT and OCTA can also be used to assess the choriocapillaris involvement in conditions such as multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, and choroidal granulomas in tubercular and sarcoid uveitis.
Fundus imaging with OCT and OCTA has assumed a significant role in establishing the diagnosis in uveitis apart from microbiological and other laboratory analysis. Advantages such as rapidity and non-invasiveness make these imaging modalities very useful and convenient.
光学相干断层扫描(OCT)和 OCT 血管造影(OCTA)等技术提高了眼底成像在葡萄膜炎管理中的诊断效用。本研究旨在综述 OCT 和 OCTA 在某些后葡萄膜炎疾病的鉴别诊断中的作用。
叙述性综述。
在本综述中,我们全面总结了 OCT 和 OCTA 在帮助临床医生诊断常见但具有挑战性的炎症性疾病方面的效用,包括眼弓形体病、病毒性视网膜炎和眼内淋巴瘤等。OCT 和 OCTA 还可用于评估脉络膜毛细血管在多发性一过性白点综合征和结核及结节病性葡萄膜炎的脉络膜肉芽肿等疾病中的受累情况。
除了微生物学和其他实验室分析外,OCT 和 OCTA 的眼底成像在葡萄膜炎的诊断中也发挥了重要作用。这些成像方式具有快速、非侵入性等优点,非常实用和方便。
