Case #49 – Central retinal artery occlusion in sickle cell anemia

Central retinal artery occlusion in sickle cell anemia – Page 13 of 35

Case 1: Optomap® Fluorescein Anglography Image OS Ultra-widefield fundus fluorescein angiography is ideal to reveal abnormalities in sickle cell retinopathy. Note vascular remodeling (red rectangle) and zones of capillary avascularity (dotted green circles)

Case 1: Optomap® OD KEY: Color Optomap Red Separation Green Separation Auto Fluorescence Note that the grey white cloudy swelling of the inner retina is not revealed in the AF image on the lower right. AF is due primarily to lipofuscin in the RPE. The inner retina appears virtually invisible on AF

Case 1 Optomap® Ultra-widefield Auto Fluorescence OD This Ultra-widefield AF image reveals hyper AF around a sunburst lesion temporally (also visible in the color images) and denotes increased lipofuscin due to metabolically over-active or sick RPE cells. See RR #42, RR #45 , and RR #47 for more information about AF. The two
