| Abstrakt: | Background and Objective: We used a multi-modal imaging approach including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) to assess the retinal lesions in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and evaluate their correlation with intracranial tuber burden on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients and Methods: Participants with TSC underwent bilateral fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), infrared (IR) imaging, and FFA. Participants' most recent MRI brain scans were analyzed to determine intracranial tuber load. Results: Nine participants were included. OCT identified all retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) lesions, IR identified 75%, fundus photography identified 63%, and FFA detected just 57%. On FFA, 20% of flat-type hamartomas and all multi-nodular and transitional types were hyperfluorescent. There were significant positive correlations between the quantities of intracranial tubers and all TSC-retinal lesions ( r = 0.8, P < 0.01) and all RAH lesions ( r = 0.8, P = 0.01). Conclusions: A multimodal imaging-based approach with fundal photography, IR imaging, and OCT should be used to assess the retina in TSC as it may indicate the intracranial tuber burden.
