Multimodal Imaging Characteristics of Quiescent Type 1 Neovascularization in Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy

Published in: Turkish journal of ophthalmology (2021)

This case report of a 38-year-old man with bilateral Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) presents bilateral quiescent type 1 neovascularizations (NV) detected by optical coherence angiography (OCTA) and their multimodal imaging characteristics. It was emphasized that this kind of quiescent and asymptomatic NV may be present in nearly every stage of BVMD and it was concluded that OCTA is a noninvasive, easy, and rapid method that is superior to other imaging methods in detecting them.
