title: En Face Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Imaging of Taxane-Associated Cystoid Macular Edema.
abstract: The taxanes are chemotherapeutic agents that may, in rare cases, cause cystoid macular edema without leakage on fluorescein angiography. Two patients with evidence of taxane-related macular edema presented and were evaluated using novel en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging modalities. Although OCTA revealed no flow abnormalities in either patient, en face OCT revealed a striking bilateral symmetric cystic tessellation pattern.
