PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY (PDR)

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 06/03/2020

This patient has PDR and prominent neovascularization of the disc (NVD), which is well-captured by the OCT angiogram.

Movement artifacts are noted throughout the scan. The bottom-right image isolates the vitreoretinal interface, showing only the NVD.

Learning Points:
The OCT angiogram captures blood vessels from the full-thickness retina, including the superficial radial peripapillary capillary network, which is not imaged with traditional fluorescein angiography.
