    Description
    Macular near-infrared reflectance (NIR) imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scan and OCT angiography (OCTA) of a 54-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1. Choroidal abnormalities were asymptomatic and not visible on funduscopic exam, but had a striking appearance on retinal imaging. B-scan (horizontal arrow) showed hyperreflective nodules in the deeper choroid (vertical arrows) underlying the multiple hyperreflective patches on NIR, in correlation with hyperflow areas of the deep choroidal plexus in OCTA.
