AIM: To report an uncommon case of aneurysmal type 1 neovascularization (polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy) secondary to high-myopic staphyloma in a Caucasian patient, assessed with multimodal imaging including swept source OCT-Angiography.
METHODS: Observational case report.
RESULTS: About 73-year-old Caucasian male patient with high myopia (axial length = 27.24 mm). Fundus examination showed a myopic conus and a deep orange-brownish nodular lesion at the edge of a deep haemorrhage and connected to a large choroidal vessel. ICGA showed a circular hyperfluorescent lesion in mid-phase, without any branching vascular network. OCT-Angiography could detect the aneurysmal lesion non-invasively as a small circular high-flow lesion in the outer retina slab, with a shadowing in the choriocapillaris slab. At the level of the aneurysmal lesion, structural OCT showed a high bilobed PED, without any subretinal fluid. A vascular flow was noted within the PED on cross-sectional OCT-A, confirming the vascular aneurysmal nature of this lesion. Additionally, swept source OCT highlighted the presence of an abrupt change in choroidal thickness, from 62 µm in the peripapillary area to 120 µm underneath the polypoidal lesion, with dilated choroidal vessels.
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first report of OCT-A findings in aneurysmal (polypoidal) dilation secondary to high-myopic staphyloma. We could demonstrate the usefulness of OCT-A detecting non-invasively the aneurysmal dilation and the usefulness of swept source OCT assessing the choroidal structure to better understand the pathophysiology of this uncommon finding.
