Incidence and phenotypical variation of outer retina-associated hyperreflectivity in macular telangiectasia type 2

Abstract

The presence of ORaH is associated with increasing photoreceptor loss and disease severity. In these more advanced cases of the present study, a variable presentation of ORaH in respect to size and form was seen, but in most cases, ORaH was in contact to the RPE. Additionally, ORaH was associated with hyperpigmentation and OR NV on OCTA. These results are consistent with the concept of ORaH representing fibrovascular OR-NV with RPE proliferation after contact with the RPE.
