Choriocapillaris Loss in a Pediatric Patient With cCMV Seen on OCT-A

In this episode of the JVRD Author's Forum podcast, Dr. Nimesh Patel of Massachusetts Eye and Ear in Boston discusses 'Choriocapillaris Loss in a Pediatric Patient With Congenital Cytomegalovirus Seen on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography,' published in the November/December 2024 issue of JVRD. Host Dr. Timothy Murray and Dr. Patel discuss this case of a 14-year-old girl with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, developmental delay, and a maculopathy of the right eye. At 7 years of age, the VA was noted to be 20/20 OU. Blood testing from newborn dried-blood spots was possible with polymerase chain reaction and confirmed suspected congenital cytomegalovirus. While not possible with all pediatric patients, the authors incorporated SD-OCT and OCTA imaging to document the macular scar, RPE alterations, and disruption of the outer retinal layers accompanied by choriocapillary atrophy.For more information, visit www.ASRS.org/JVRDForum.Welcome to ASRS’s Journal of Vitreoretinal Diseases (JVRD) Author’s Forum.
