A fingerprint hidden inside the eye. A unique pattern of outer retina splitting as seen on en-face OCT and OCT-angiography





Abstract


A splitting of the outer plexiform retinal layer in a saw-like hyporeflective pattern in addition to partially formed concentric circles centred at the foveola were observed using en-face OCT and OCT-angiography in a 27-year-old female patient with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and a 50-year-old female patient with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada chorioretinopathy.

Case report


A 27-year-old female patient with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and a history of ocular toxoplasmosis underwent pars plana vitrectomy with argon laser photocoagulation and silicone oil tamponade. En-face Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) performed 3 days postoperatively revealed retinal reattachment in addition to splitting of the outer plexiform layer in a saw-like hyporeflective pattern ( Fig. 1 A).
