Optical Coherence Tomography of Retinal Granulomas in Presumed Ocular Sarcoidosis
Optische Kohärenztomografie von retinalen Granulomen bei mutmasslicher okulärer Sarkoidose
Background
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in choroidal granulomas are well described in the literature [1] – [5]. They are described as round, hyporeflective areas or nodules within the choroidal stroma. OCT findings of retinal granulomas are less well described; only case reports have been published in cases of sarcoidosis or Blau syndrome [6], [7], [8]. The purpose of this case report is to depict OCT findings over time in a case of presumed ocular sarcoidosis with retinal granulomas.
