Abstract

Purpose: To report the OCT angiography findings of type 3 neovascularization.

Methods: Two cases (one each with retinal angiomatous proliferation and chorioretinal anastomosis) are reported, in which the conventional fundus fluorescein angiography and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings were inconclusive.

Results: OCT angiography demonstrated flow within the abnormal anastomotic network and delineated the extent of the lesion with respect to the retinal layers.

Conclusion: OCT angiography enables a quick diagnosis of type 3 neovascularization by demonstrating a supranormal flow within the lesion and delineates the lesion within different retinal layers.

Keywords: Chorioretinal anastomosis; OCT angiography; Retinal angiomatous proliferation; Type 3 neovascularization.
