Hyperautofluorescent retinal blood vessels in Ophthalmic artery occlusion.

PURPOSE: To report fundus autofluorescence (FAF) characteristics in ophthalmic artery occlusion.

METHODS

A 30-year-old male presented with complaints of sudden diminution of vision in the right eye following nasal polypectomy. The patient was evaluated and follow-up of the patient was done, including Optical coherence tomography (OCT), Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Indo-cyanine green angiography (ICGA) and Fundus autofluorescence (FAF).

RESULT: We describe a case of ophthalmic artery occlusion where we noted hyperautofluorescent whitening of the retinal arterioles.

CONCLUSION

Hyperautofluorescent arterioles on FAF in retinal arterial occlusion is not yet described and sheds light on the possible pathophysiology of the disease mechanism.
