Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings of Juxtapapillary Choroidal Naevus

Abstract

The authors report on two middle-aged Asian females with unilateral juxtapapillary choroidal nevi. One was asymptomatic, and the other had an inferior arcuate defect with 20/20 vision. In addition to routine ophthalmic examinations, combined spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) imaging were performed. The features of the in vivo cross-section, including extension of the juxtapapillary naevus, deformed retinal layers, and other subtle secondary structure changes, were recorded in well-oriented details. The image findings are complementary for diagnosis and periodic follow-up in patients with choroidal melanocytic lesions.
