ALTERED PARAFOVEAL MICROVASCULATURE IN TREATMENT-NAIVE CHOROIDAL MELANOMA EYES DETECTED BY OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography angiography documented significant enlargement of deep foveal avascular zone as well as reduction in superficial and deep CVD in affected eyes. These findings correlated with the presence of subretinal fluid and increasing tumor size, suggesting that tumor-related factors contribute to parafoveal microvascular ischemia.
