  Explore Indian Journal of Ophthalmology (IJO) Oct 25 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Sir, Microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT, 2 mm depth penetration) helps in achieving the optimal results by providing the real-time images of tissue manipulation during the surgery. The iOCT is of great value while performing lamellar corneal surgeries, cataract surgeries, and intraocular lens implantation surgery. [1] , [2] It has also been noted to provide an advantage during placement of the glaucoma drainage devices in cadaveric eyes and needling of the blebs. [3] , [4] Pasricha et al . described the four-dimensional visualizations of the muscle and the scleral wound while passing the scleral sutures. [5] A 45-year-old male patient with alternate ...

5. Letter to the Editor: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Choroidal Hemangioma
  
  Explore Healio.com Aug 20 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Dear Editor, We read with interest the article on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) of a suspected case of choroidal hemangioma. 1 We want to humbly discuss a few facts. The authors mention that “To date, findings from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have yet to be reported for a choroidal hemangioma.” However, in 2017 we had published our findings in cases of choroidal hemangioma before and after treatment with laser. 2 In an asymptomatic patient with an incidentally detected choroidal mass multiple differential diagnoses are possible, including metastasis. It would be interesting to know how the authors excluded other ...

10. Retinal Arteriovenous Malformation Assessment Using Swept-Source OCT Angiography
  
  Explore Healio.com Mar 21 2018 Ophthalmology
  
  Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) is a promising new imaging modality for assessing retinal and choroidal vasculature. Faster scanning speed, large number of A-scan acquisition, and enhanced depth penetration has enhanced the detailed analysis of retinal layers. The authors discuss SS-OCTA features of a rare case of retinal arteriovenous malformation. Image analysis revealed the anomalous large-caliber vessels occupying up to the entire retinal thickness with associated echolucent changes in the inner retinal layers surrounding the retinal vessels, along with disruption of the outer retinal layers, including the inner/outer segments of photoreceptors beneath the large tortuous vessels outside the ...

11. Swept source optical coherence tomography-angiography of choroid in choroidal hemangioma before and after laser photocoagulation
  
  Explore Indian Journal of Ophthalmology (IJO) Aug 1 2017 Ophthalmology
  
  Swept source optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-angiography) gives us a unique opportunity to study the vasculature of choroidal lesions in vivo . We describe the OCT angiographic characteristics of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma before and after laser photocoagulation. Medium-sized choroidal vessels/vessels on the tumor surface become predominantly visible after laser photocoagulation due to laser-induced damage to the overlying choriocapillaris. OCT-angiography adds a new dimension to in vivo analysis of vascular changes in choroid due to choroidal tumors and their response to therapy.

  Explore LWW Online Dec 30 2016 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: To report optical coherence tomography-based videoimaging of alive subretinal cysticercus along with its mobile scolex. Methods: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was used to record high-definition videoimages, using the inbuilt motion tracker, in a 12-year-old boy with history of neurocysticercosis. Result: The scolex was found to be sensitive to light, and contractile movements were seen in the cyst wall and the germinative layers. The patient underwent vitrectomy, and the diagnoses were confirmed with histopathologic assessment. Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography is a useful tool for diagnosing posterior segment cysticercosis. The intense motion of scolex does not impact the surrounding ocular structures.

19. Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging and Assessment of the Macula During Cataract Surgery: A Novel Technique
  
  Explore Healio.com Sep 16 2016 Ophthalmology
  
  The authors describe a technique to qualitatively analyze the posterior segment during cataract surgery using intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT). Macular iOCT can be done before and after intraocular lens implantation after the media is rendered clear following phacoemulsification. A handheld irrigating planoconcave contact lens is placed over the cornea with the operating microscope in retroillumination mode. After focusing the microscope and upon getting a clear view of the posterior segment, iOCT is switched on, centered at the macula, and focused. This technique enables the surgeon to intraoperatively analyze and document the macular morphology and vitreoretinal interface. Potential uses of ...

  A 32-year-old female presented with visual acuity of hand movement close to face, an old inferior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and a large hemorrhagic macular macrocyst (HMM) in the right eye. After 2 weeks of successful vitreoretinal surgery, the HMM started decreasing in height and resolved by 3 months. On optical coherence tomography, a zone of hyperreflectivity in the outer retinal layers was evident on resolution of the cyst. At final follow-up, the visual acuity improved to 1/60 only. Though HMM resolved completely after retinal reattachment, alteration and thickening of microarchitecture of the outer retinal layers ensued.
