From: Optical coherence tomography angiography in uveitis

 

Superficial capillary plexus

Deep capillary plexus

Outer retina

Choriocapillaris

Choroid

-Decreased flow density

-Enlargement/ Irregularity of FAZ

-Capillary remodeling

-Grayish hypo/non perfused areas

-Elevated, dilated or shunting perifoveal vessels

-Well delineated flow void areas

   

Birdshot retinochoroiditis

-Telangiectatic vessels

-Increased intercapillary space in the perifoveal region
