Figure 5 Optical coherence tomography angiography images obtained 2 days, 2 weeks and 3 months after injury(A) Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) examination 2 days after injury scan shows blood flow disorders in the superficial and deep retinal plexuses with visible area of capillary non-perfusion. Intense dark areas at the choriocapillaris, more pronounced than in the retinal plexuses, and sharply demarcated patches of hypoperfusion (red arrows) may represent ischemic injury. (B, C) OCT-A examination 2 weeks and 3 months after injury showed persistent blood flow disorders in the retinal plexuses. At the level of the choriocapillaris, there are visible small patches of hypointense signal areas, as a representation of sequela from choroidal infarctions during the acute stage (red circle).
