The characteristics of choriocapillaris flow void in the unilateral polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy fellow eyes
Abstract To evaluate the morphological characteristics of flow void (FV) in the fellow eyes of the unilateral polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Fifty PCV fellow eyes (PCVF) and 31 age-matched normal ocular circulation controls were recruited in this retrospective study. The number of FV was a...

| Sumario: | Abstract To evaluate the morphological characteristics of flow void (FV) in the fellow eyes of the unilateral polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Fifty PCV fellow eyes (PCVF) and 31 age-matched normal ocular circulation controls were recruited in this retrospective study. The number of FV was analyzed according to the size in a centered 5 × 5 mm swept source optical coherence tomography angiography scans. We used indocyanine green angiography images to determine whether choroidal vascular hyperpermeability (CVH) has occurred. For the PCVF, the prevalence rate of CVH was 70% (35 of 50) The number of FVs was significantly lower in 400–25,000 μm2 (P = 0.005), 400–500 μm2 (P = 0.001), 525–625 μm2 (P = 0.001) and 650–750 μm2 (P = 0.018). compared to the controls. And showed no difference in size from 775 to 1125 μm2 between the two groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of PCVF with CVH and controls was 0.94 (95% CI 0.88–1.00) (P < 0.001). We found that the number of small FVs was significantly lower in the PCV fellow eyes than that in the eyes with control group. |
