Multimodal Imaging in Ocular Siderosis
Abstract
Purpose: This report aims to characterize ocular changes in a case of ocular siderosis with iron toxicity using multimodal imaging and electroretinography.
Methods: A 34-year-old woman presented with ocular siderosis of the left eye following penetrating injury with an iron-containing foreign body. The patient's uncorrected visual acuities were 20/60 and 20/150 in the right and left eye, respectively, with abnormal pupillary function and presence of a cataract in the left eye. She underwent successful intraocular foreign body removal and cataract surgery with no postoperative complications. Cone contrast threshold (CCT), full-field electroretinogram, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) were used to characterize ocular alterations preoperatively and postoperatively.
Results: CCT color vision testing showed abnormal color vision, and OCTA revealed increased vascular flow density associated with the foreign body.
Conclusions: CCT color vision testing, OCTA, OCT, and full-field electroretinogram can characterize retinal changes in cases of ocular siderosis.
Keywords: OCT angiography; cular siderosis; full-field electroretinogram; intraocular foreign body; iron toxicity; optical coherence tomography.
