OCT Choroidal Rupture
Jun 26 2025 by Hector Gabriel Moreno Solano, MD, MHA
High-resolution OCT of the right eye shows a localized disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)–Bruch’s membrane complex, consistent with a choroidal rupture. There is loss of the normal outer retinal architecture over the lesion, with focal elevation and irregularity of the underlying RPE. Hyperreflective material is noted at the level of the break, without associated subretinal fluid or signs of active choroidal neovascularization.

Autofluorescence in Multiple Choroidal Ruptures
Jun 26 2025 by Hector Gabriel Moreno Solano, MD, MHA
Fundus autofluorescence imaging of the right eye shows three hypoautofluorescent linear lesions located temporally to the fovea, consistent with choroidal ruptures. The lesions demonstrate sharply demarcated borders with variable surrounding hyperautofluorescence, suggestive of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) disruption and potential remodeling. One rupture is located near the foveal region, though the foveal center remains spared.

Multiple Chorodial Ruptures
Jun 26 2025 by Hector Gabriel Moreno Solano, MD, MHA
Color fundus photograph of the right eye reveals three well-defined, curvilinear choroidal ruptures located temporal to the fovea running parallel. The lesions appear as pale, crescent-shaped bands, with underlying retinal pigment epithelium disruption. One of the ruptures is situated near the foveal center, though without direct involvement.

Multimodal Imaging in CHRPE
Mar 6 2025 by Gerardo - Montante Montelongo, MD
Fundus photograph of an 83-year-old male with a history of Diabetes, smoking, cataract surgery on the right eye in 2022, and open-angle glaucoma. Asymptomatic. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed 80% excavation, peripapillary atrophy, and a hyperpigmented perifoveal lesion with 35% atrophy, 10% drusen, and 5.1 mm diameter, corresponding to a CHRPE. At multimodal imaging, FFA shows hypoautofluorescence of the lesion, OCT shows preservation of internal retinal layers, atrophy of external retinal layer, with an RPE disruption, and posterior shadowing. USG shows a flat hyperechoic lesion 5.1 mm in diameter and 1.32 mm in thickness, solid and with high internal reflectance.

Representative Electrooculogram Responses
May 13 2024 by Gabrielle Hallai
Electrooculogram responses on the left from a control individual with no known retinal pathology. There is a clear dark trough around 13 minutes (arrow down) and a light peak around 25 minutes (arrow up). The Arden ratio, or the light peak to dark trough ratio, is 2.54, indicative of normal retinal pigment epithelium function (normal > 1.80, abnormal < 1.65). On the right-hand side, there is a representative image from an individual with Best macular dystrophy. Note the reduced responses for both the dark and light phase. There is a reduced Arden ratio of 1.23, suggestive of abnormal retinal pigment epithelium function. An abnormal Arden ratio is universal in Best vitelliform macular dystrophy and is the most common electroretinographic change in this disease. Other bestrophinopathies such as autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy may have normal EOG. EOG testing was completed on the Diagnosys ColorDome.

Choroideremia
May 8 2024 by KANWALJEET HARJOT MADAN, M.S. (Ophthalmology); FAICO (Vitreous - Retina)
These are the fundus pics of a 28 year young male who presented with history of night blindness. Fundus examintaion revealed presence of Choroideremia. There is diffuse pigment clumping followed by atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris with visible sclera and choroidal vessels in this condition. Atrophy progresses centripetally and the fovea is the last to become affected.

Best Disease
Apr 24 2024 by Marcelo Zas, MD PhD
Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) or Best disease. Is the most common autosomal dominant macular dystrophy. It involves the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and leads to a characteristic bilateral yellow “egg-yolk” appearance of the macula as you can see in this image. Essentially, BVMD is considered to have 6 clinical stages: Previtelliform, Vitelliform, Pseudohypopyon, Vitelleruptive, Atrophic and Choroidal neovascularization. As the disease progresses, patients may experience a slow, bilateral decrease in visual acuity, central scotoma, or metamorphopsia. With secondary CNV, visual decline can be rapid, however.
