Two types of optical coherence tomographic images of retinal pigment epithelial detachments with different prognosis

Table 1

Characteristics of patients who participated

Visual acuity (logMAR) PED size
Case Sex Lat Age (years) Initial Final Follow up (months) Initial Final FAG ICG OCT CNV Fellow eye
Lat = laterality of the PED; visual acuity = logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), initial and final = visual acuity at the initial visit and most recent visual acuity; PED size = size of the retinal pigment epithelial detachment by disc diameter (DD); FAG, hyper = hyperfluorescence in the PED from the early phase; irregular = irregular hyperfluorescence in the late phase; hypo = hypofluorescence both in early and late phases; nd = examination was not performed; ICG, hyper = hyperfluorescence in early and late phases; irregular hypo = irregular hypofluorescence at the late phase; no fluorescence = no fluorescence even at the late phase; OCT = classification of PEDs by the OCT images; N = CNV was not present.
