Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in a Patient with Leber’s Idiopathic Stellate Neuroretinitis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: We report optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a 48 years old man with Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis. Ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed serous retinal detachment (SRD) and marked hard exudates in the papillomacular region. Imaging with OCT revealed an accumulation of fluid in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and the inner nuclear layer (INL) space. In addition, hyper-reflective deposits, corresponding to hard exudates, were also detected in the ONL and OPL. In this patient with Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis, OCT was useful for visualizing SRD and localizing hard exudates in the ONL and OPL. Keywords: Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis (LISNR), Optical coherence tomography (OCT).
