EN FACE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY OF MACULAR MICROCYSTS DUE TO OPTIC NEUROPATHY FROM NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA

Abstract

Macular microcysts have been associated with various forms of optic atrophy, including neuromyelitis optica. Spectral domain and en face OCT imaging of the microcysts demonstrated a very characteristic pattern. Normal fluorescein and OCT angiography suggest that nonvascular causes, such as Müller cell degeneration, might contribute to the etiologic mechanism.
