Optical coherence tomography features of choroidal neovascularization and their correlation with age, gender and underlying disease

Purpose: To investigate the influence of age , gender and underlying disease on the optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to Inflammation ( iCNV ), myopia (mCNV) and age -related macular degeneration (AMD-CNV). Methods: Demographic and clinical data of eyes with treatment naïve iCNV , mCNV and type 2 AMD-CNV were collected. OCT images were reviewed to determine the presence of pitchfork sign (PFS), pigment epithelial detachment (PED), subretinal fluid (SRF), intraretinal cysts (IRC), subretinal hyper reflective material (SHRM), atrophy and outer retinal disruption (ORD) graded 1 to 4. The influence of demographics and underlying etiology on OCT signs ...
