Fig. 28.10 OCT illustrating pathologies related to the vitreoretinal interface. (a) Horizontal OCT of vitreomacu­lar adhesion and (b) vitreomacular traction. (c) A horizon­tal OCT scan shows a thin hyperreective membrane suggestive of ERM distorting the normal foveal depres­sion. The outer nuclear layer appears stretched. All retinal layers can be delineated. (d) A horizontal OCT shows ERM causing alteration of the normal foveal architecture and ectopic inner foveal layers. Also, the retinal layers cannot be delineated. (e) A horizontal OCT scan of a
lamellar macular hole shows an irregular foveal contour with loss of foveal tissue. Schitic cavities between the outer nuclear and outer plexiform layers and the inner reti­nal layers can be seen. The photoreceptor layer appears intact. (f) Horizontal OCT shows partial posterior vitreous detachment, with the vitreous cortex still attached to the optic disc margins. A full-thickness defect can be seen in the neurosensory retina with cystic spaces in the outer and inner nuclear layers
28.4.1 Epiretinal Membrane
On OCT, the epiretinal membrane (ERM) is seen as a discrete, irregular, hyperreective line above the inner retinal surface, usually associated with wrinkling of the retina and hyporeective spaces between the ERM and ILM.It can be classied into [21] stage 1, where the ERM causes negligible ana­tomic disruption; stage 2, where the ERM causes
stretching of ONL, but all layers can be identied; stage 3, where the ERM is associated with an ecto­pic inner foveal layer (EIFL), and stage 4 ERM when there is signicant retinal thickening, pres­ence of EIFL, and disrupted retinal layers [Fig.
28.10c, d]. On OCTA, the size of the FAZ may be
reduced. Also, an increase in foveal vessel density (VD) and a decrease in parafoveal VD at the level of SCP and DCP can be seen.

28.4.2 Lamellar Macular Hole
A lamellar macular hole (LMH) is a defect in the inner fovea with or without actual loss of tissue [Fig. 28.10e]. It can be classied into tractional and degenerative subtypes [22]. Pre-retinal tissue can be seen in both subtypes. In tractional LMH, ERM is seen as a thin, irregular, hyperreective layer attached intermittently to the retina, and in degenerative LMH, epiretinal proliferation, a thick, homogenous material of medium reectiv­ity, is seen. On OCTA analysis, a higher foveal VD and lower parafoveal VD are seen at the SCP and DCP level in tractional LMH cases. In degen­erative LMH, a lower parafoveal VD can be seen in both SCP and DCP, with no signicant differ­ence noted for foveal VD.
28.4.3 Full-Thickness Macular Hole
On OCT, a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) can be seen as a full-thickness foveal lesion inter­rupting all macular layers [Fig. 28.10f]. It can be classied based on its size into small (≤250μm), medium (>250 μm but ≤400 μm), and large (400μm) [20]. Other features that can be seen on OCT include ERM, IRF, and SRF.Following surgery, various closure patterns can be noted on OCT, such as the U, V, and W patterns of closure, and type 0, 1, and 2, and round or linear closure patterns [23].
On OCTA, “vascular sliding” can be seen at the border of the cystoid cavities in FTMH; this suggests the preservation of the microvasculature surrounding the cystoid spaces. Also, following surgery, a decrease in FAZ area and an increase in foveal vessel density and choriocapillaris net­work are noted.
28.5 Myopia-Related Retinal
Diseases
28.5.1 Myopic Macular Degeneration
The META-PM (META-analysis for Pathologic Myopia) study group proposed the classication
of myopic macular degeneration (MMD) based on fundus photographs that included atrophic alterations in the macula along with “plus lesions” that included lacquer cracks, Fuchs spot, and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV). Correlation with OCT shows the pres­ence of choroidal thinning with intact RPE in dif­fuse atrophy and the absence of both RPE and choroid in patchy atrophy [24]. The SFCT (sub­foveal choroidal thickness) decreases with wors­ening MMD. Wong et al. [25] observed that choroidal thinning plays a more crucial role than scleral thinning in the progression of MMD.BM defects also contribute to the progression to mac­ular atrophy.
Posterior staphyloma was classied based on the area of ectasia, shape, margins, and character­istics of the optic disc and retinal vessels. Posterior staphyloma can be observed as a pro­trusion of the wall of the eye. It can be clearly dened on OCT, characterized by an outpouch­ing area with a radius less than the surrounding curvature of the wall of the eye. Other observa­tions include inward protrusion of the sclera and thinning of the choroid at the edge of the staphyloma.
28.5.2 Myopic Choroidal
Neovascularization
One of the complications of high myopia is mCNV (myopic choroidal neovascularization) which can present as sudden, progressive deterio­ration of central vision if not promptly treated. OCT is useful for detecting and guiding treat­ment with anti-VEGF (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) in mCNV (Fig. 28.11). Most mCNVs are typically type 2 lesions that appear as small, at, grayish lesions; these may be sub­foveal, juxtafoveal, or extrafoveal inlocation. On OCT, mCNV appears as a hyperreective mound above the RPE. During the active phase, an mCNV exhibits fuzzy edges on OCT, with vari­able amounts of SRF or IRF.The amount of reti­nal uid, in general, is less than that in nAMD and has been attributed to less unhealthy RPE in the myopic population. With treatment, the lesion

develops a hyperpigmented border and evolves into a Fuchs spot in the scar stage. The corre­sponding OCT appears as an “encapsulated lesion” with a well-dened, hyperreective out­line and resolution of SRF/IRF. As mCNV regresses, some eyes develop chorioretinal atro­phy in the atrophic stage [25, 26]. On OCT, this appears as an area of the outer retina and RPE loss surrounding the mCNV. In the atrophic stage, loss of choriocapillaris and RPE may even­tually develop. On OCTA, an mCNV typically appears as vascular nets located above the RPE, in keeping with a type 2 NV [Fig. 28.11]. The lesions were identied as a tight vascular net with a perilesional halo and a visible core on OCTA is considered as an important biomarker in deter­mining the activity of mCNV. Branching with

tiny vessels and anastomosis or loops is a sign of neovascular activity. Although changes in shape, size, and ow area in OCTA have been observed with anti-VEGF treatment, there is no standard method to repeatably quantify these parameters. Flow signals may be detected even in treated mCNVs without exudation.
28.5.3 Myopic Traction Maculopathy
Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) results from vitreomacular traction (VMT) in high myopia and includes myopic foveoschisis, a macular hole with or without RD.The increased rigidity of the retina in the presence of posterior staphyloma contrib­utes to the development of MTM.MTM occurs

more frequently in eyes with staphyloma than those without. In addition to detecting MTM, OCT can further delineate the severity of the condition [Fig. 28.11]. Various systems have attempted to classify MTM according to the extent of changes, the level of disruption, and whether or not the fovea is involved. The ATN classication includes the atrophy, traction, and neovascularization com­ponents. The traction component was classied based on the size of the macular retinoschisis into absent, extrafoveal, foveal only, and foveal (but not the entire macula), or foveal (entire macula). Parolini etal. identied four retinal stages of MTM that include inner/outer maculoschisis, predomi­nantly outer maculoschisis, maculoschisis­macular detachment, and macular detachment [26,
27]. The foveal stages include normal fovea, inner
lamellar macular hole, and full-thickness macular hole. Wang etal. [28] described the imaging char­acteristics of MTM using OCTA that showed the worse the BCVA, larger retinal volumes, and larger subfoveal choroidal capillary vessel density in retinoschisis.

28.5.3.1 Technical Concerns
Increased axial length, exaggerated curvature deformities, and imaging artifacts can make OCT imaging challenging in highly myopic eyes [27,
29]. SS-OCT offers a higher signal-to-noise ratio,
deeper penetration, and longer scan length, resulting in higher resolution in highly myopic eyes than SD-OCT. Magnication correction should be considered when evaluating retinal and choriocapillaris blood ow quantication in myopic eyes.
28.6 Uveitis
28.6.1 White Dot Syndromes
The white dot syndromes comprise a spectrum of inammatory disorders affecting the retina, including multiple evanescent white dot syn­dromes (MEWDS), punctate inner choroidopa­thy (PIC), and multifocal choroiditis (MFC). These may range from self-limiting to recurrent

28.6.2 Sympathetic Ophthalmia andVogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease
On OCT, acute MFC/PIC lesions are seen as conical or dome-shaped collections in the sub­RPE space. Widespread loss of outer retinal architecture and localized choroidal hyperreec­tivity below the sub-RPE material can also be seen [Fig. 28.13] [29, 31]. Other features include thinning of the choroid, occlusion of the choroi­dal vessels, and focal choroidal excavation. Active disease can also present as foveal outer
Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) and Vogt­Koyanagi- Harada disease (VKH) share similar features in OCT. These include multiple serous retinal detachments, bacillary layer detachment, RPE folds, uctuations of the internal limiting membrane, and subretinal and choroidal hyper­reective dots. Choroidal analysis shows diffuse choroidal thickening with loss of choroidal archi-

tecture and increased CVI (choroidal vascularity index) [Fig. 28.14] [3033]. Dalen-Fuchs nod­ules are dome-shaped hyperreective, sub-RPE lesions with associated disruption of the ellipsoid zone and RPE.On OCTA, choriocapillaris ow voids can be seen. With treatment, the neurosen­sory detachment resolves. Reduced choroidal thickness is a useful measure to assess the improvement of the underlying choroidal inammation.
28.6.3 Non-infectious Retinitis
Retinal arteriolar and venous circulation can be affected in Behcet’s disease. On OCT, supercial retinal inltrates are seen as focal, hyperreec­tive thickening of the retina with back-shadowing

[Fig. 28.15]. In the case of neuro retinitis, local­ized vitreous condensation over the inamed optic disc can be seen, giving a “smoking vol­cano” appearance. An increase in CMT and mac­ular volume can also be seen. Other features include CME, ERM, serous RD, ELM, and EZ disruption with OPL elevation, INL thinning, VMA/VMT, LMH or FTMH, macular atrophy, and scarring [32, 34]. On OCTA, there is an increase in FAZ with hypo—or non-perfusion in SCP and DCP.
28.6.4 Infectious Uveitis
28.6.4.1 Toxoplasmosis
The retinitis lesion in toxoplasma retinochoroidi­tis is seen as an area of increased intraretinal reectivity and thickness with full-thickness dis­organization of the retinal layers [Fig. 28.16]. Posterior hyaloid thickening or detachment may also be seen overlying the lesion. Hyperreective round-shaped deposits along the posterior hya­loid and hyperreective dots in the retro hyaloid space are characteristic of the disease. The cho­roid is hyporeective below the lesion, and there is diffuse thickening of the choroid with a decrease in the number of hyperreective septa corresponding to the walls of the choroidal ves-

28.6.4.2 Tuberculosis
Ocular tuberculosis may present as choroidal tubercles, granulomas, occlusive retinal vasculi­tis, multifocal serpiginoid, or serpiginous-like choroiditis. On OCT, the tubercules are seen as a single, rounded lesion having a hyporeective core surrounded by a hyperreective area, in the
roid. It is characterized by a “contact sign,” a localized area of adhesion between the RPE­choriocapillaris layer and the neurosensory ret­ina, surrounded by exudative retinal detachment [Fig. 28.17]. In tubercular serpiginous-like cho­roiditis, the OCT features include ELM and EZ disruption, hyperreective material over the RPE

Shaggy pho­toreceptors have also been noted, which represent edematous photoreceptors or macrophages with lipofuscin on the posterior surface of the detached retina [37, 39]. Vitreous seeding can be seen as highly reective spheroidal bodies in the vitreous cavity. Imaging with OCTA shows heteroge-

Other associated features noted include retinal traction, discrete internal moth-eaten optically empty spaces, adjacent retinal or macular edema, and shallow elevation of the adjacent retina. On OCTA, nely branching tumor vessels can be seen in the supercial and deep retina. Also, the outer retina and choriocapillaris layer show hyporeective changes due to shadowing caused by calcium or high blood ow within the lesion [40, 42].
28.7.5.2 Combined Hamartoma oftheRetina andRetinal Pigment Epithelium
On OCT, focal vitreoretinal traction can be seen and the inner retina shows a “saw-tooth” and “omega sign” pattern [Fig. 28.21c, d]. On OCTA evaluation, a ligree pattern of intratumoral ves­sels can be identied [41, 43].
