OCTA in neuro-ophthalmology: Current clinical role and future perspectives

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive, depth-resolved imaging tool for the appraisement of retinal vascular changes. Since its introduction, the understanding of diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, central serous retinopathy and other diseases has been enriched on many fronts. Its dye-less imaging property maps retinal as well as deeper choroidal vasculature in quick succession with good reproducibility. Hence, it can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of optic nerve-related diseases as well. A detailed literature review for its role in non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, papilledema, optic disc drusen, papillitis, hereditary optic neuropathies, central nervous ...
