Popis: Background The aim of this study is to determine the differences in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) features of acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH) and acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Clinical and imaging data of patients with acute CSC and VKH in a tertiary-care institute were analyzed. Multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and enhanced-depth imaging OCT were performed. OCTA images were analyzed for alterations in retinochoroidal microvasculature. Results Thirty-four eyes (24 patients; 10 with VKH and 14 with CSC) were included. OCTA en face images showed apparent areas of choriocapillaris flow void due to shadowing effect from overlying subretinal fluid and pigment epithelial detachment in CSC. However, eyes with VKH showed presence of true choriocapillaris flow void on OCTA that corresponded to choriocapillaris ischemia on ICGA. Conclusions OCTA is a useful tool to assess choriocapillaris ischemia in VKH and is helpful to differentiate it from CSC in the acute stage.
