PURPOSE: To describe a noninvasive imaging technique for the detection of ocular amyloidosis using ultra-widefield images.
METHODS: This was a retrospective, case-control study of patients with familial transthyretin amyloidosis seen at the Wills Eye Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital, United Kingdom. Pseudocolor, 100% red, and 100% green ultra-widefield fundus images of patients with familial transthyretin were reviewed, and s ensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve for the pattern abnormalities noted on fundus images for amyloidosis were calculated.
RESULTS: A total of 19 eyes of 10 patients with transthyretin amyloidosis were included. Vitreous floaters were the most common posterior segment manifestation present in 57.9% (N = 11/19) eyes. The sensitivity and specificity for a hypointense or isointense pattern on 100% red and a hyperintense pattern on 100% green being amyloidosis were 57.9% (95% CI: 33.5%‒79.7%) and 100% (95% CI: 54.1%‒100%), respectively. The area under the curve was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.68-0.90). Excluding the hypomorphic V122I mutation, the sensitivity and specificity for a hypointense or isointense pattern on 100% red and a hyperintense pattern on 100% green being amyloidosis were 64.7% (95% CI: 38.3%‒85.8%) and 100% (54.1%‒100%), respectively. The area under the curve was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.94). Histopathological analysis showed that amyloid deposits were visible under green and blue filters but not under red filters.
CONCLUSION: The appearance of amyloid deposits can vary based on the type of scanning laser used. The methodology described in this study represents a novel and noninvasive approach to detect ocular amyloidosis with relatively high specificity.
