Popis: The purpose was to demonstrate the diagnostic and therapeutic feasibility of swept source-optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) by picturing neovascular changes secondary to a rare white dot syndrome following long-term intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR). A 28-year-old Caucasian myopic female presented with visual loss in her right eye only. The clinical examination and multimodal imaging including spectral domain (SD)-OCT, blue-peak autofluorescence, fluorescein, and indocyanine green angiography (HRA Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering; Heidelberg, Germany) as well as SS-OCTA (DRI Triton, Topcon; Tokyo, Japan) led to the diagnosis of idiopathic punctate inner choroidopathy with secondary subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV). In addition to oral corticosteroids, a pro re nata regimen with IVR was initiated and guided by repeated SD-OCT and SS-OCTA. Six IVR were administered based on functional SS-OCTA en face scans illustrating vessel transformation and downsizing of the CNV area while SD-OCT B-scans were inconclusive as indirect signs of activity were absent throughout the follow-up period. SS-OCTA provided new possibilities for monitoring vessel development. IVR was managed based on vessel density as displayed by SS-OCTA.
