Purpose: To detect the vessel density (VD) of the radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) in eyes affected by pathological myopia with or without a peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC) and in eyes with PICC complicated by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: We prospectively enrolled highly myopic patients from January 2016 to December 2019 at the Eye Clinic of the University of Naples “Federico II.” We divided included patients into three groups: group 1 including patients with PICC complicated by CNV; group 2 including patients with PICC without complications; group 3 including patients with high myopia without PICC and CNV. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni post hoc analysis was used to evaluate differences in VD of radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) in papillary whole, peripapillary regions and its sectors among the three groups. Results: We enrolled 12 highly myopic eyes with PICC complicated by CNV, 21 highly myopic eyes with PICC without CNV and 23 highly myopic eyes without PICC. The myopic eyes with PICC revealed a statistically significant reduction in VD of the RPC comparing to the other groups ( p < 0.001), especially in eyes affected by myopic PICC complicated by CNV ( p < 0.001). These results were similar analyzing the VD in different sectors of the peripapillary region among the three groups ( p < 0.001). Conclusion: OCTA detects the changes in peripapillary vascular density of highly myopic eyes. We demonstrated that the RPC vasculature is significantly influenced by the presence of PICC, especially in myopic eyes developing a CNV.

Objectives. To demonstrate the usefulness of “en-face” Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) combined with Fluorescein Angiography (FA) in the investigation of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation.Materials and Methods. A 72-year-old man followed for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) for 4 years was referred for an asymptomatic “peripapillary lesion.” A full ophthalmological examination and conventional imaging of the retina were done. FA, Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICG-A), and SD-OCT using the “en-face” technique were also performed.Results. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25 both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed no abnormalities of anterior segment. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was normal. Fundus examination showed a triangular yellow-orange thickening at the inferior border of both optic nerves. FA showed early hypofluorescence of the lesion and progressive staining without any dye pooling. SD-OCT with “en-face” technique showed an intrachoroidal hyporeflective space resembling a cavitation below the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).Conclusions. “En-face” SD-OCT and FA are valuable techniques for the diagnosis of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation associated with myopia. Pathophysiological insights regarding SD-OCT findings and angiography behavior are offered.
